Delor
please shelter me from the rot of the dead
creeping into my vegetables
the garden grew spikes
and no one told me that meant add water
the tomatoes grow fullest first
perhaps miraculously like tiny beanstalks
why are they so demanding?
One Monday morning a headmaster noticed , for the umpteenth time, that the kids were all bleary eyed and presumed they were babbelas after a busy weekend of frolicking, so he decided to give them a talk about the perils of alcohol.
He took two glasses, filled one with water, and the other with some brandy he had confiscated earlier.
He asked Paddy, who looked considerably the worst, to fetch him a earthworm out the schools vegetable garden.
Paddy did as he was told, and the headmaster put the worm in the glass of water, and the worm crawled around in the water , not too disturbed.
He took the worm out, put it in the brandy, and the worm promptly gave up the ghost.
He asked paddy to explain to everybody what he has just learnt from this demonstration.
And paddy said ” Sir,…if we drink brandy, we aint got worms…”

I’m doing the classic ‘think of an analogy for a cell and what all the organelles could be’ project. My overall analogy is a garden, but I can’t think of what the golgie bodies would be (they’re the organelles that modify and package protiens). The protiens in my analogy are everything that plants produce — vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc. But what modifies or packages flowers? Help!!!
Thanks, and 10 points to the best answer if I get one!
Thanks to those who answered, but the Golgi bodies don’t help make protiesn — they ship the new ones off to their next locations. So any type of fertilizer doesn’t really work. But thanks!
Oooh! I thought of a good one — a wheelbarrow! So, thanks again to those who helped.

I had a splendid small summer garden and have now pulled up everything, added new compost and tilled that in with a good covering of composted lawn clippings. Now I am wanting to have something growing in that area and looking for suggestions.
