Oh, that I should never have to see,
Bindweed in my berries staring back at me!
It reached out and encircled round my ____,

Oh, that I should never have to see,
Bindweed in my berries staring back at me!
It reached out and encircled round my stems,
and started chocking my berry gems......

Now that big and ugly monster weed
has grown and grown and gain the speed
it has come out of it's berried lair
and started to tangle around my golden hair..

..But no worries here comes the pea
all refreshed and strong after cup of tea
"I'm going to sort you out.. you thug..
even if I have to I use my beloved mug"

"You behaving like awful serious killer
just like zombie from video 'thriller'
If you don't leave anyway soon
This mug will send your flying to the moon" ;D

Round and round and up you go
Choking the raspberries as you grow.
Underground your tangled roots
Suck out the nutrients from next years shoots.
Dig it out and you will find
You still have left too much behind
Oh awful weed you aren't very kind,
You really truly are such a bind.

Bindweeds in my berries staring back at me
It reached out and encircled me round me neck
And very soon I hit the deck

Could it be none of you are related to Shakespeare?
No "forsooths", "yons", or "anons"?

The fragrant honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun,
And many other creepers do the same.
But some climb anti-clockwise, the bindweed does, for one,
Or Convolvulus, to give her proper name.
Rooted on either side a door, one of each species grew,
And raced towards the window-ledge above.
Each corkscrewed to the lintel in the only way it knew,
Where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled, and fell in love.
etc
that more what you're after?

Is that an echo of Romeo and Juliet, bugloss? No happy endings, there, I seem to recall.
Can't wait to read the next verse!
GrannieAnnie, what have you started?!

bindweed;
"oh..fly me to the moon and let me play amongt the stars
I wan't find out what berry bushes are like in mars.
Don't be angry and take my hand
let me bind you with the wedding band.
Oh pea..trust me in this - if thou be still
my twining body shall obey thy will"

I weeded out a pile of bindweed just yesterday.
Today it's back saying, "Fooled you, hey, hey!"
"Forsooth! I'll cover you in a plastic of black,
over cardboard, newspaper... you won't be back."

I love the look of bindweed
On someone else's plot
But when it comes to my back yard
I'm glad that I've not got!

Ah, but I will dear Granny don't fear,
just stronger and longer and greener my dear.
Thou cannot croak me ,so many have tried,
they chop me, they pull me,but leave teary eyed.
Better to love me,and leave it like that,
know when you're doomed , drop by for a chat.
Be kind to me , I will be to you,
give me a spot of my own like you do..
for your green beans, your salad and that ruddy great squash,
with your taters, your maters, they 'aint so posh.
I was here first , don't give me the push
I don't need planting each year like a wuss.
To argue is folly, to concede is the way.
So, give in old 'gal cos I'm here to stay!!
