This is the short, sweet, sorrowful
tale
Of Jessica Jenkins Jones;
She planted packet of seeds with
pride,
While her dog looked on with his
head on one side
And thought, she's burying bones.

In search of the luscious bones
So Jessica's garden it doesn't grow,
And Jessica's dog is cross, and SO
Is Jessica Jenkins Jones.
