Sung to the tune of Offenbach's Gaite Parisienne
(oh come on, you know, the can-can)
 

Botany oh Botany
You break up the monotony
You teach me all about the plants
No birds or bees, just lots of trees
and vegetables and shrubbery
Some really hard, some rubbery
There's oh so much diversity
There's no time to rehearse it
Even though we are not in cahoots
Its time to get back to your roots
Get out of bed, put on your pants
It's time to learn about the plants

Did I mention?
There is so much greenery
Pay attention!
Look at all the scenery

Some are plain, some really 
when we learn about the plants we
know much more than those next door
who haven't got a clue about
the categories and the genus
all the plants have got between us
you can solve the mystery
of protoplasmic history

Categories
up and down the family tree
Inventories
let's go to some nurseries
and look around
at all the ground
see what's growing
what needs mowing
C'mon let's go!
When are we going?
I don't think we're going anywhere!
This is the stupidest song about plants I've ever heard
There isn't a single plant in it

except for these palm trees

You gotta ask yourself how often somebody digs up a song you wrote more than ten years ago and turns it into a comic book.
Or at least I do.
I wrote Botany for Wacko, Yacko, and Dot and posted it here where it was discovered by a maniac.
Miraculously, thanks to Jonathan M. Sweet of  The Belch Dimension, now there's this...
