How-To (poem)….
What surprised me lately? I was surprised how overgrown our bushes were in front of our house when I went to trim them yesterday.
Ex. How To Be the Bushes in the Van Bragt Yard
TRICK: “You should…” (VERB)
Grow long, tentacle-like branches,
Scratch little children who hide beneath you,
Threaten the postman every day with your sharp edges,
Attract bees to become even more threatening,
Live, no matter how old and crummy you’ve become.
Scratch little children who hide beneath you,
Threaten the postman every day with your sharp edges,

Live, no matter how old and crummy you’ve become.
