The Whispering Plants

Rhyming Couplets

The trees whisper
As the other trees whimper

The trees have a bushy top wig
As they do a jig 

The zig zaging gum
Is as strong as a base drum

The Waratah is fancier  
Than the parched Banksia

The pungent smell of Eucalyptus
Competes with the Hibiscus 

The Golden Wattle 
Outshines the fleshy Bluebottle 

The gallant Gymea Lily 
Towers over the Lilly Pilly 

The Sturt’s Desert Pea
Longs to see the sea

The Kangaroo Paw 
Stands proudly at the nursery store

The Bottle Brush shrubs
Are the coolest in the club

Nature is everywhere
Its wonder, beyond compare
