Fail on an Epic Scale

"A Rational Intelligence necessarily precedes empathy."
-- Elementary Logic for lovers of fauna,
not flora
(or even fungi)

Have you no empathy?  How can you laugh?
Though yet it be in truth my greatest gaffe!
 
( ! )  ( ! )
 
The lawn!  And garden!  How uncivilized!
Not fertilized with dung!  Both traumatized!
 
(=)  (=)
 
The little daisy!  Nestling in her bed!
By puppy pee!  Assaulted on the head!
 
(^)  (^)
 
The dandy dandelion!  In a rut!
His stamen wee!  By one mean mower cut!
 
(#)  (#)
 
The peas!  Pea green with envy!  All in pods!
Their brothers kill!  To please their green-eyed gods!
 
(+)  (+)
 
The crabgrass!  Rank!  Unnatural!  Grown to seed!
No rubber wears!  That crotchety low weed!
 
(~)  (~)
 
The grapes!  Again!  Inhaled!  With yet the vine!
Those little foxes!  Spoilt!  Till stuffed!  The swine!
 
(/)  (\)
 
And I!  Here tripped upon my garden shears!
Beneath the kudzu!  Buried!  Dead for years!

the Pain of the conscious, feeling being
full failing

a revolving helios verse menippean satire on
the good green garden of countless vegetables
