A Floral Foible    by  Ruth A. Reynolds

There is no wisteria
In Eastern Siberia,
But lots of diphtheria,
I venture to say.

And up in Estonia
Each lovely begonia
Comes down with pneumonia
And withers away.

Let's go to Sardinia
Where all the gloxinia
Have such schizophrenia
They think they're okay!
