Are you looking to leaf it?
Hasn't it already gone to seed?
Isn't that all the more reason for it to grow and blossom?
Should it be a perennial topic?
Oughtn't we to get rid of it, root and branch?
Have you been dishing the dirt while I've been gone?
Aren't you barking up the wrong tree?
That would definitely be true if it was a flower bush now wouldn't it?
(Sorry, my powers of cleverness are being sapped by this cold!)
Are you now speaking of flowery speech?
Is that what you're rooting for?
Don't you believe in branching out?
Are you splitting twigs here?
Shouldn't I leaf that alone?
Aren't you making too mulch of this topic?
Have yew tree quite finished?
My, my, aren't you bright eyed and bush-y tailed today?
Is a rose by any other name not a rose?
Ooh, breaking out with the flowery speech now, are you?
Is to bee, or not to bee a buzzing question?
