Wife Patrol - Dead Garden

Rose buds fail to unfold
Zucchini blossoms all heavy with mold
Dark thorns make up the bed
Raspberries all knit together with webs

Dead
Garden
Dead

Maybe I was too much
Has my dead garden been drowned in a flood?
Or I gave up too fast
Has my dead garden been starved into ash?

I can't pick up the phone
Or put it down 'cause I'm feeling alone
If you won't talk to me
I can't deliver your new ficus tree
