Fair warning, gentle hearted readers. I’m about to share an image of an anthropomorphic carrot alongside a human hand returning the misanthropic gesture.
Still reading?
And accompanying this potentially offensive image is a potentially offensive poem. So if you’re super sensitive and/or if you’re indisposed to gardeners’ laugh therapy, no judgment (but best stop reading now.)
Still reading?
If so, “The Impudent Carrot” (below) may well tickle your funny bone. I certainly hope so.
The Impudent Carrot
If carrots unearthed
are caught coupling,
surmise that it might
augur auspicious.
If carrots unearthed
are gnarled in a fist
(except one flipped bird),
return the gesture.
Garden humor to lighten the mood of your shortening days and lengthening nights. Levity is my go-to analgesic, and maybe, just maybe, I’m not the only to get amused when pulling funny looking carrots out of the dirt.
In this case, thank you, Hroth Ottosen, for documenting your Rosslyn harvest with a visual poke in the ribs.
