My Garden

This is the sad tale of my garden...

My Garden
I exit the house
With joy and a smile
It's time to plant a garden
That will last a while

Boy, was I wrong
About that last line
It didn't take long
For the flowers to die

I'm rather persistent
So, I tried again
For my beautiful garden
But guess what happened then

I forgot to water
Those poor, little plants
So, they followed the others
In the death stance

A third time, then
We bought some flowers
But they dried up
Without water showers

I think I'll wait
A few more years
To plant another garden
To avoid the tears.

The Avengers

So my little sister, Abby, gave me the idea for this one because she absolutely loves the Avengers :) This is not my best, but it's something :)

The Avengers
All the Avengers
Have ups and downs
And most of them
Weigh quite a few pounds

Now Thor needs a haircut
Although that kid is strong
And he's from a different universe
But that story's long

Captain America's suit
Looks rather dorky
But all else is flawless
With a perfect dose of quirky

Iron Man's pure awesome
But he's perfectly aware
He flies, he shoots, and does all that
And he does it all with flair

It depends on whom we're talking about
Is it Banner or the Hulk?
Banner's smart. Hulk can smash.
But when he comes out, I would dash

Hawkeye can aim
That arrow straight
So if pointed at you
It's already too late

Black Widow is a fighter
And a gorgeous one at that
She can take down an army
In twenty seconds flat

Last, but not least
Nick Fury rules the roost
And when they're feeling down
He gives them a boost.
