I’ve Taken Pity On A Poinsettia ...

Everyone sing along now ...

“Percy the puny poinsettia
Is hanging his bloom in dismay
If they had just kept him wetta
He'd be a houseplant today
Folks liked the other plants betta
Now he's alone on the shelf
Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself”

My new house is now graced by its first poinsettia ... let’s see how long it lasts!

Due to parental guidance (‘Dad always know best’ is my motto) Percy is placed on my hall window – where he (hopefully) will get fairly static temperatures, no cold draughts (he’s protected by my new blind) and ‘cause I’ll see him everyday ... I shouldn’t forget to water him ... lets see how he looks next week ...

Poinsettia Watch is on ... I can hear Bill Oddie weeping in misery ‘cause he didn’t think of the idea first ...
