Satire Garden: Plant Puns That Prune
Writing the Satire
Plants grow satire – prune them punny. Target a bloom: “Rose says sweet – Im pricked.” Hit the green – roots, leaves: “Tree says tall – Im short.” Keep it sharp – flat flops. Write: “Vine says climb – I fall.” Garden blog flops inspire. Start yours: “Cactus says hug – I bleed.” Practice turns buds into barbs.
Teaching the Technique
Teach plant jabs with a green twist. Give “weed grows” – twist: “Grew so fast, Im lawn!” Show garden gags – root, zing. Steps: plant, quirk, jab. Assign “bloom fade” – spark: “Fade so chic, Im dead!” Discuss snap: sharp wins. Warn off dull – live rules. Garden-off: pitch a pun, best prune wins. Plants are growth – teach them to grow it.
