What a nice surprise! For Father’s Day, Pearl
Ordered this rubber plant for me. Phone rang
While I was cooking eggs and beans. On grill
Were three pieces of toast nicely browning
Turned everything off, grabbed keys, collecting
This plant from the delivery lady stood
In the road just outside. Almost raining
She said the plant was low maintenance. Good!
Little water once a week but don’t flood
The soil. Keep out of strong sunlight. It’s ill
If the leaves droop. Keep them upright and strong
Told Pearl I had the plant. We decided
Its name was Jupiter. Oh what a thrill
To be living with another being
