How does your garden not grow?
"By not doing as I should,
By not being good,
By swimming in my own undertoe."
What value do you manifest?
"I like being crazy.
I don't smell like a dazy,
And I'm quite good at being a pest."
How can I make you my friend?
"I don't make a friend,
And I don't make amends.
I insist on my way to the end."
Now tell me just what I should do?
"I'll keep taking over,
And you won't be in clover,
'Til I get some respect out of you."
You've put a big wrench in my life.
"I really don't care,
So you'd better beware.
I thrive on chaos and strife."
How can we be friends and allies?
"Don't try to cajole me.
Just honor and extole me,
And we'll stand in our truth and be wise."
You're so sharp and thorny and spiked!
"Of your back I'm the bone.
I can stand on my own,
And I don't give a damn if I'm liked."
I see how important you are.
"You're damned straight kid.
Without me you'd skid.
Together we're truly a star."
