Dog Flowers

Pinoy, Pinoy, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,

And dog flowers in the front row.

Dog flowers in the front row?

That's right. Dog flowers in the front row. Maybe they should bury the seed if they really want their dog flower to blossom. Else the wind will blow it away.

That's the trouble with the wind. It blows all your seeds around and fertilises the whole neighbourhood. You end up with dog flowers popping up all over the place where they are most unwanted like a horrid weed. The best thing to do with weeds is to uproot them.

But then what? You can't burn all those weeds because it just stinks up the air and the fire never burns hot enough to incinerate them. Might as well return those unwanted plants back to their owner and let him handle the mess.

Surely he can find a place to plant this dog flower seed and watch his garden grow.
