>> When they called out for another drink,
>> Watered again for another day
>> And so it was that later,
>> As it grew like a green tomato,
>> What I faced, at first I boasted,
>> Itbs a whiter shade of kale.
>> I said there is no reason,
>> Why orange it should not be,
>> But I wandered through my seed packs,
>> And the green is pain to see,
>> Only one of sixteen bore fruit,
>> Green squash for all to see,
>> And all the vines split open,
>> No orange giants for me.
>> And so it was that later,
>> As this gardener told her tale,
>> What I faced at first was ghostly,
>> Just a whiter shade of kale.
>> I said there is no Eatonbs,
>> No LaRuebs that I can see,
>> Congrats to Mr. Checkon,
>> Where can I get some seeds?
>> As I wandered through my dead patch,
>> Mosquitoes would not let me be,
>> Though the scales were open,
>> No pumpkin there from me,
