HONEYSUCKLE AND KUDZU
by Larry Bowers
If honeysuckle and kudzu mixed,
It’d be a dream come true.
For hummingbirds and honeybees,
But not for me and you.
The damn stuff grows so fast,
It makes the mind unhinge,
A foot a day or sometimes more,
It’s the Japanese revenge!
If honeysuckle and kudzu mixed,
Think of the smell each spring!
But for folks with allergies,
It wouldn’t help a thing.
Might as well get used to it,
Kudzu’s the king of grow,
Just wish some scientist could cross,
Kudzu with toma-toe!
