1. |
"I wish I had room for my roots!" said the flow'r;
"All about them so many weeds crowd!
I wish oh I wish there might be a cool show'r,
But the sky has not even a cloud." |

And he pulled ev'ry weed from the bed,
He sprinkled the plants from his brimmin' full can;
Little flow'r did de know what you said? |
