A gardener of the first degree
A man with first class pedigree
Developed an unusual tree
And named it Joie de Vivre.
It produced apple, orange, and plum
And a flower much like chrysanthemum
The man was called a genius by some
But others thought him tiresome
Because he had not much to say
about things happening day to day
his time was spent on Botany
and his unusual fruit-filled tree.
but now that hes a millionaire
his fans have come from far and near
to hear him talk about botany
regardless of the monotony.
They listen closely to each word
taking notes on all theyve heard
Not because of Joie de Vivre
but how hes made his money!
He smiles and speaks of growing trees
Of nature and its mysteries
How its made him rich of heart
from other science it stands apart.
He goes on and on ad nauseam
until theyve had enough of him
and leaves him to his gardening.
The man smiles and while hes digging
He finds a nugget large and round
About the twenty-third hes found.
He quietly hides the gold away
And digs for most the rest the day
And, though he loves his gardening
The bottom lines the important thing.
