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.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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
