Morning Glories
Eileen Clark 1993 (Htfd. Ct.)
Morning glories are the easiest flowers to grow
Sometimes they show up when you didn’t even sow
Men never take notice when the yard they mow
Cutting off all of them and they didn’t even know
They ask you for nothing needing very little care
Every morning you can count on them being there
On your fence, lattice work or crawling up your stare
Looking like a trumpet sounding off a purple blair
Smile on your face be it coffee or some credit they will share
Up this fine morning before you brushed your teeth and hair
Giving off bright colors some purple and some light blue
Sit and enjoy them for they will close up right in front of you
I think I’ll build myself a long white picket fence
Plant purple morning glories, well worth the expense
I will be the envy throughout the neighborhood
Seeing them every morning will make me feel good
