The Wandering Jew

Loathed by so many and loved by so few
The weed that is known as 'the wandering jew'
It survives in all weather even in long spells of drought
And i would not know how it's name came about
Whether it originated in Israel of that i would not know
My ignorance on paper of such i must show
It spreads by itself one can say it self sow
And in damp and shady places it does like to grow
It shuts out the light of the sun from the ground
And few flowers do bloom where it is to be found
The gardeners to kill it off use toxic spray
But the root of the noxious weed never decay
And all it does take are a few showers of rain
For the wandering jew for to grow back again.
