Hydrangea

by Kathleen Gilbert

Margaret's first husband Donald is buried out back under the Lilacs. Her second husband John resides with pride under the Forsythia. Husbands three and four occupy the spot under the Roses. They are lucky to have claimed the place in the garden that gets the most sunlight. Husband five is out shopping for a new Hydrangea with his blushing bride. Margaret does have a weakness for flowers and men.
