Asparagus: A vegetable that makes your urine stink.
And Grandfather: A urine scented vegetable.
One flaccid when it's steamed too long, or soaked with hollaindaise.
The other stiff when Nurse connects the catheter.
The seasonal Asparagus brings celebrants when ripe.
The nurses gripe when Grandpa's ripe, he's hourly.
Tastebuds mourn the passing of the last spear of the year: Perrenials, you will taste them again.
But Grandpa must remain beneath the soil when he's gone.
Cremate him if it's zombies that you fear.
If your religion stifles that and Grandpa stumbles in
To eat your toes and fingers like green shoots,
Karate kick your zombie Grandpa hard about the head.
At least that's what the comics say to do.
