Catnip loves sunlight
\nFrom Venus it be
\nruled by the water
\nAnd feminity
\nNepeta Cataria
\nOf the Lamiaceau
\nMints
\n and deadnettle
\nWhere ere we go<\/p>\n
Elliptical leaf forms
\nBilabiate lip flowers
\nWas drunk long ago
\nIn England
\nIts powers
\nSoporific
\nThat was back then
\nBefore tea caught on from the East
\nWhich was when<\/p>\n
It went out of favour
\nWhat many dont know
\nWhen its oils are extracted
\nattractants
\nWhich grow
\nin subtle
\nProfusion and felines
\nCan be
\nLeft in
\nA state
\nFeeling euphorically<\/p>\n
Thats those with the gene
\nWild cats and tame
\nA kind of relaxant
\nSo some people claim
\nAn extraction iridodial
\nAttracts lacewings, they
\nAre drawn by the pheromones
\nComing their way<\/p>\n
Also aphids like it
\nWhich lacewings devour
\nSo a great way of stocking
\nOne’s larder each hour
\nA good repellant
\nFor Cockroaches they
\nPrefer not to walk
\nOn its chemical spray<\/p>\n
Mosquito’s too
\nWould be persuaded
\nTo stay well away
\nIf its sprayed close to you
\nIt has a bitter taste
\nIt thrives in good light
\nAnd needs good drainage
\nAnd it does invite<\/p>\n
Butterflies too
\nIts a mint its stem square
\nTakes the evil eye
\nOff of children
\nAware
\nCats have a psychic bond
\nThe goddess Bast
\nIs also attracted
\nAnd when mints
\nare amassed<\/p>\n
It surely is
\na nosegay
\nOf soughts
\nWith
\nOlfactory splendour
\nAnd spell
\nenhancing thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
