This song was written with a not so subtle message of encouragement to start producing grandchildren. There is a subtle shift from plant care to child care. It is from the “songs I cannot sing, but love to try” collection.
I know you can
Take care a of cats
Pay the bills
And run the stats
Take out garbage
Take out ants
The question is
Can you take care of plants?
Spring saves me every time
Even indoor plants find it sublime
That plant I thought was doomed
Just bloomed
Just bloomed
They wither and die
And never complain
Then come back to life
With a wisp of rain
You’re both devoted
To your grants
The question is
Can you take care of plants?
Plants love Mozart
What a relief
They Buddhist clap
With just one leaf
But too much pressure
To be brilliant
Can make a plant
Much less resilient
Spring saves me every time
Even indoor plants find it sublime
That plant I thought was doomed
Just bloomed
Just bloomed
Too much water
Or too little
You need to find middle of the middle
Don’t worry much
When that kid rants
Remember the lessons
Learned from plants
So here’s a project
And a riddle
You see you’ll never find
The middle middle
You’ll blow it but
Another chance
Is always there
With kids and plants
Spring saves me every time
Even indoor plants find it sublime
That plant I thought was doomed
Just bloomed
Just bloomed
