Dear Morning Glory:

Despite the beauty of your blossoms,
in your determined quest to reach the sun
you appear to be strangling my currant bush.

While I find both you and the currant bush
aesthetically pleasing, I unfortunately
need to sacrifice one  to spare the other.

Contrary to your innocent appearance,
I know you to be quite ruthless in your
climb to the top, and it seems to matter not
whom you strangle in the process.

Please consider this letter to be
your eviction notice. You must
cease and desist from wrapping your tendrils
around the stems of the currant resident.

In order to facilitate your departure,
I am uprooting you from the ground.
While I hope this resolves our conflict,
I suspect you will try to make a comeback.

Be warned:
I will be diligent in
policing my grounds.

Sincerely,
The Keeper of the Pruning Shears
