Another gardening rhyme
I wish I had the energy to do my garden proud.
But my poor back is groaning It is groaning very loud.
I have some great intentions to spend an afternoon
digging in the garden. But they evaporate real soon.
In another life, not so very long ago
I could spend all day in the garden
I would dig and rake and hoe
I’d plant out all the seedlings and prune the roses rare
Water all the vegetables and treat them all with care
But now, I’m very sad to say, those days are left behind
The thing about getting old, it isn’t very kind
But not to worry, you know what, I’ll get some gardening guys
Then they’ll do all heavy work, and I’ll just supervise.
