Community Garden

COMMUNITY GARDEN

There is this wild thorn in our community garden
We fondly call him as Osama Bin Laden

Loves to hide, rush, boo and push
Always knocking over my favorite Bush

Bush keeper summoned a Garden Alliance
Proclaimed "catching Osama no rocket science"

"We will attack him, bomb him and smoke him out
We will get him dead or alive" was the war shout

"make no mistake", and "surely but steadily"
were the lines that were used constantly and readily

Bush called on brother Blair, coz he wanted to share
the war, the booty on a battlefield that was unfair

The fight went on, and people and towns were gone
we read in the papers, of dead people who we don't mourn

Wild and seeded now, is our community garden
coz, still loose out there the thorn Osama bin laden
