Love Me or Leaf Me



The Swamp Thing stood hunched in the door
a horror to former amore
As wife to a plant
she'd love him, but can't
She's human, and can't bear a spore

Berni Wrightson's cover art for House of Secrets #92, which
introduced
Wrightson and Len Wein's Swamp Thing. Much
later in
the Swamp Thing series, writer Alan Moore figured
out a way for Swampy to bear fruit.

The Swamp Thing stood hunched in the door
Jeannette Kahn saw a potential score
Spin him off in a series
Have the fanboys draw theories
Then pass it all off to A. Moore

Bud Plant on Premises

The Swamp Thing stood hunched in the door
a horror to former amore
She'd love him, but can't--
She works for Bud Plant
who'd grade him 'near mint' in his store

The Swamp Thing can't take anymore
With women he's lost his rapport
They don't want romance
with amorous plants
They'd pot him instead as decor
