The White House Vegetable Garden

 

---

The buzz around the White House comes from bees and not the press;
Michelle is turning farmer, weeding 'round the watercress.
Everything's organic, from the honey to the peas;
on the South Lawn rhubarb sprouts up higher than her knees.
Berries and tomatoes, kale and collards will take root
and if the times get harder she may plant a little jute.
Where once old Eisenhower putted golf balls by the score
now there's lettuce spreading and nasturtiums really soar.
Being a team effort, I am absolutely sure
the Cabinet will have its turn for spreading on manure.
Barack will do some hoeing and Joe Biden will inspect
each plant for mold and mildew and the terrorist insect.
Michelle, I do salute you --but I would not share your fate
when you put steamed spinach on your children's dinner plate.
