Plant Pranks: Botanical Barbs
Writing the Satire
Plants are satires green – barb them prickly. Target a bloom: “Rose says sweet – Im stabbed.” Hit the leaf – roots, vines: “Tree says tall – Im short.” Keep it sharp – dull flops. Write: “Vine says climb – I fall.” Garden blog flops inspire. Start yours: “Cactus says hug – I bleed.” Practice turns buds into biting laughs.
Teaching the Technique
Teach plant jabs with a green twist. Give “weed grows” – twist: “Grew so fast, Im lawn!” Show garden clips – root, zing. Steps: plant, quirk, jab. Assign “bloom fade” – spark: “Fade so chic, Im dead!” Discuss bite: sharp wins. Warn off flat – prank rules. Prank-off: pitch a barb, best laugh wins. Plants are growth – teach them to grow it.
