Gardening

Here is another witty poem from Teresa Harrison-Best about challenges in the garden!

Gardening

I know I should like gardening
but I find it quite a pain.
No sooner have you finished it
then you need to start again.

The weeds just seem to flourish
they’ll survive no matter what.
Dandelion’s just everywhere
from borders to your pots.

Hosta’s are just slug food
and should be name as such.
A buffet for the gastropods
they thank you very much!

Then we have the Latin names
all double Dutch to me.
A hollyhock’s a hollyhock
as plain as plain can be.

You never seem to benefit
from the labours of your work.
If and when you take time out
your garden goes berserk!

The weeds regroup and multiply
snail’s and slug’s just munch.
Your petunias are their breakfast
and your marigolds are lunch.

A glass of wine or weeding
no contest I would say.
That large cool glass of Sauvignon
would always win the day!!
