On the RIGHT here is Poison Ivy
With it's shiny green leaves of three
On the LEFT is similar looking Virginia Creeper, 
Which is beneficial and has 5 leaves.

My sincerest apologies - as anyone who knows me will tell you - although I know my plants, I do NOT know left from right and I had this poem backwards! It is corrected now.
