When flowers wake each morning
they don't have to make their bed,
and lettuce never has to comb
the hair upon its head.
You'd never tell asparagus
it shouldn't play with spears.
You'd never ask a stalk of corn
to wash behind its ears.
A mushroom doesn't have to
clean its room, and you'll agree
a tree won't have to study hard
to learn geometry ("Gee, I'm a tree!").
I guess it should be obvious
from listening to my rant,
I'm tired of being a person;
I would rather be a plant.
