The Green Team
My garden is a small indoor one
it contains four green plants
Of which I do not even know the names
Four, it seems, is sufficient
They have found their own preferred place
And degree of water and light acceptance
I have many times tried to add a fifth
But it does not work
I think the other four team up and reject
My fifth choice
Not that I am scared that
The Supreme Four will one day
Gang up on me
If I dare add a fifth,
But I always keep a small light on at night
One just never knows.
