Her ears are growing cauliflower,
so she doesn�t hear a word.
The garden growing in her ears
obscures her consonants and verbs.
Brandy�s nouns are deeply buried,
under parsnips and potatoes.
Her conjunctions are concealed,
by two rows of red tomatoes.
Her adjectives are camouflaged,
by watermelon vines.
Her vegetables and brain cells,
are slightly intertwined.
Her vowels are caught and tangled,
her pronouns are unclear,
and now it�s time for Brandy�s mom,
to clean her two small ears.
