Unique Garden Greeter

Succulents Galore

A surprise Greeter sat just off the parking area of

the garden nursery

What unique workers they employ

This one was sporting hair like fuzzy succulents and

had a nose with large nostrils,

green spongy stars centered on his face

Black sunglasses kept any glare off the eyes,

boots protected his ankles and the soles of his feet

Color-coordinated gardening gloves matched the shirt logo,

preventing thorns from poking fingers

The nametag was a bit hidden, but no matter,

his relaxed stance and wonderfully frilly beard that obscured his face

drew us in to browse

    The pic made me giggle. This could really scare people at nights...would be great in a horror movie. The poem really does it justice. Congrats.
