Ode to Limpy

An Ode to Limpy the Lettuce

by Indhu S. Sekar

You sit on my balcony, with the view of the city
Hoping to grow, to look so pretty
But as your caretaker, I see no good
to water you, as you'll be eaten as food.

So, instead of hoping to grow so high
to stretch your leaves out and touch the sky,
You will remain in the pot, looking pale green and impy,
But no worries, you're still my mate, Limpy!


The end.

[Begin polite applause here]
