A True Gardener

I was tempted
to try the Chanel No. 5
in your bathroom,
but I didn’t.....
to keep the sapphire ring
I found on their front porch,
but I didn’t.....
to eat my niece’s raspberries,
but I didn’t.....
to buy a black lace dress
like my sister’s,
but I didn’t.....
to keep the PowerMac
accidentally mailed to me,
but I didn’t.....
to try to steal a taken man,
but I didn’t.....
to slip one of your
Martha Washington geraniums -
I cannot tell a lie -
I did.
