Casting Nasturtiums

I’ve a mind to sue
It’s defamation of character
Don’t you know
I’m not one of those Polly Titians
To take it kindly
And she’s as bad
That one who’s hammering the keys
Writing libelous words
Casting Nasturtiums
Rapacious, indeed
Just because I eat the weeds

46 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Rapacious

    One should think one would be pleased that the weeds and not the flowers are being eaten!
