Gardener - meaning Summary

Misunderstood Instructions, Comic Twist

A brief, comic poem about a misunderstanding that turns risqué. The speaker chastises someone who took a literal or lewd interpretation of being asked to "water the plants," revealing the joke through terse correction. The tone is playful and brisk, relying on a sudden twist and understatement to produce laughter rather than extended explanation. It reads as a single gag compressed into two short stanzas.
