Aunties Tomato Greenhouse

Aunties Tomato Greenhouse

  Walk up to the greenhouse,
  Step inside the door,
  There's a forest of tomato plants,
  Wander around, have a look and explore.
  Look left, then look right,
  Then at the ceiling to the floor,
  Surrounded by tomato plants,
  There is tomatoes galore!
  How did Aunty grow them?
  Was it with lots of kindness and love?
  And a watering can,
  Like rain from the sky above.
  Or did the fairy godmother (Aunty Phil)
  Wave her magic wand?
  And sprinkle a little magic,
  That made them so big and strong!
  Now step outside the greenhouse,
  Take a tomato or two,
  They are tasty and delicious,
  And also good for you!
