The one's in the tray are leftover seed I didn't plant. The one's in the pot, well your guess is as good as mine. They're volunteers that I decided to give a shot.

EDIT by deluxestogie: This thread originated from way-off-subject comments added by other members (like me) to NRustica's Grow Log.

Re: NRustica's 2012 fantastic grow log

Don't Tell Me That I Can't

[to the tune of "The Wabash Cannonball"]

No leaves. No weeds. Just soil and my plant.
With a hoe in hand and a bit of land, I'm working like an ant.
Now the IRS and the FDA, they say I shouldn't do it.
They claim to have true wisdom, but I already knew it.

CHORUS:
But I risked my life for freedom, so this ain't no idle rant.
I plan to grow tobacco. Don't tell me that I can't.

The nanny state is spreading. It sings its droning chant,
That citizens are ignorant--their understanding scant.
Treat them all like children, who don't know right from wrong.
Take away their choices, and then they'll sing our song.

CHORUS:
But I risked my life for freedom, so this ain't no idle rant.
I plan to grow tobacco. Don't tell me that I can't.

Government is limited in what it can supplant,
Regardless of the breathy pleas and anti-smoking slant.
It's in the Constitution, and in the Bill of Rights.
If you trample on our liberties, they're gonna be some fights.

FINAL CHORUS:
Better let me grow tobacco, or I'll slap you up side the head.
Cause I plan to grow the evil weed, 'til they tell me I am dead.
Yes, I risked my life for freedom, and this ain't no idle rant.
And I plan to grow tobacco. So don't tell me that I can't.

Bob

I like the lyrics Bob, but I bet you need a bucket to carry that tune.

I couldn't resist a final flourish in the last chorus. It's posted with the original. I got down my guitar, with the thought of making a recording, but my fingers are just too stiff these days.

Well I'm working on the grass. I'm the leaves will keep the wild grass down a little.

Now if you can rap that piece, I'd like a video of it here. :)

Now if you can rap that piece...
If any FTT forum member ever catches me doing rap, you have my permission to shoot me, no questions asked.

I'm probably as liberal as your friends. I just believe that tobacco control has taken on an ugly life of its own. [There are many staunch conservatives who firmly believe that using tobacco is a sin.] Feel free to pass it on. Since I put it in print, along with my name and a date, it is automatically copyrighted. [Whoopee!] The nom de plume is deluxestogie.

^^^^ old age.?
I turn 64 next month. I'm guaranteed to not die young.

My apologies to NRustica, for hijacking his grow log.

Bob
