World Naked Gardening Day

I am not making any of this up. It is a real and recognized 'holiday' all around the world if not in your hometown just yet. It was reported on in the USA Today newspaper just this morning. What’s this world coming to I read it just today They’re promoting naked gardening On the 14th day of May It started back in 05 But has spread around the world It’s all about the great outdoors And doing it unfurled It celebrates the weeding Planting flowers in the buff And trimming more than hedges As if that’s not enough It’s soaking up the sunshine Big doses of vitamin D And trimming trees and bushes For everyone to see It’s best to warn your neighbors Or to work behind a fence It’s not for the faint-hearted But for those with confidence But take it slow and steady Don’t get in a big rush Be sure to use some sunscreen Or your cheeks will surely blush If you’re handling a tool Be careful of its edge If your neighbor also gardens Don’t linger near her hedge Beware of poison ivy Watch out for poison oak Be careful what you pull on Be careful what you poke Come on – join the movement The sun will do you good You can beautify your own yard Or your whole neighborhood So now you know the story I’ve laid the gauntlet down It started in Seattle You can bring it to your town And all your friends and neighbors Will stop – and then who knows Maybe they will join you (Be wary then of those!)
