My Garden

I planted a shoe tree, but nothing came up.

Then I planted some bird seed, and something sprouted, but it never bore birds.

Then I bought some bedding plants, and I expected to get sheets, pillow cases, and blankets.

Then I did some pruning in my garden. I took a bundle of twigs to the bank, and when I got to the teller, she said, "Are you crazy? We don’t take that," and I said, "Isn’t this a branch bank?"
