OUCH

 

 

 

OUCH 

 

I had a green thumb yesterday

I hit it with a spanner

Now it’s turning purple grey

In a most uncanny manner.

 

I had a green thumb yesterday

I hit it with a spade

I hit it once again today

And it’s turned a khaki shade

 

I had a green thumb yesterday

I hit it more ‘n I oughter

It happened by the waterway

And now it’s in the water.

 

I had a green thumb yesterday

And with an axe I struck it

I left it in an alleyway

Inside a rusty bucket.
