Yellow daisies on a bush,
Cars that rush by with a whoosh!
Bits of wrapper flecked with age-
There's a newspaper's torn page.
Cheerful weeds no longer please;
Dry sticks waving in the breeze.
Stuck in traffic oh so slow
Watching freeway gardens grow.

(Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
"With silver bells and cockle shells
And SUVs all in a row".)
