    Botany
    by Berton Braley

    There should be no monotony
    In studying your botany;
    It helps to train
    And spur the brain--
    Unless you haven't gotany.
    It teaches you, does Botany,
    To know the plants and spotany,
    And learn just why
    They live or die--
    In case you plant or potany.

    You learn, from reading Botany,
    Of wooly plants and cottony
    That grow on earth,
    And what they're worth,
    And why some spots have notany.

    You sketch the plants in Botany,
    You learn to chart and plotany
    Like corn or oats--
    You jot down notes,
    If you know how to jotany.

    Your time, if you'll allotany,
    Will teach you how and what any
    Old plant or tree
    Can do or be--
    And that's the use of Botany!
