Small glass cubed-shaped vase
Home for plant roots growing in water
Philodendron thriving nicely
In its bed of smooth pebbles
Today things however did not go well
While watering my plant
I missed the mark badly
Pouring a puddle upon my end table
Recalling science lessons from long ago
I grabbed a paper towel and created a straw
To suck up the liquid
O joy it did! problem solved

Nice! Brought a huge smile to my face. was feeling a bit tired – very uplifting. Nice job. Well done and last but not least, thank you.
Thanks. It was fun to write. I have not been writing much for a long time. I think I’m getting back in my groove. I’m happy I made you smile. 🙂
Does that really work? Fantastic idea and I will remember it!~
This was fun, and worth sharing
I’m glad you liked my story. I can attest that the paper towel straw works. I over- water plants on a regular basis and the water overflows the saucer set beneath them. This also works when I over-water my large plants and I want to suck water out of the deep saucer so my plant’s roots don’t rot.
oh I’ll be trying that
