A Visitor In My Greenhouse

I went into the greenhouse to water the plants and flowers It is my little haven I could stay there for hours and hours The watering can was heavy with the precious rain It has been very sunny so I was watering the plants again. I watered the beans and peas, the tomato plants growing tall I refilled the watering can; there wasn’t enough to do them all Moved on to water the melons and the flowering courgette When underneath the foliage something moved when it got wet A black and brown toad leap up at me; I thought it was a dream I dropped the watering can with fright and gave a little scream Think the toad was pretty shocked at his impromptu shower So I’ve left him to and hop back and hide under a gerbera flower Jan Allison 23rd June 2014
