The loving son stopped by
With coffee and scones
Just to check.
He noticed potatoes
In the window and
Grew concerned.
It wasn’t a normal
Thing to have sticks
Protruding from
Wrinkled tubulars.
The loving son enquired.
“Propagation,” she shrugged.
And went on to explain
The benefits the potato
Gave the twig.
He checked again,
“And they’re growing,”
He exclaimed,
With too much
Enthusiasm.
She wondered what
Else the son
Had mis-
understood.
