Home Grown

Throwing soil into a planter Growing season just begun Showing her I have green fingers Knowing I shall need no gun She thinks I’m a layabout Me thinks she’s in for a shock Three months til she gets to sip Tea from leaves of fresh hemlock 9 June 2021 Sponsor: Joseph May Contest: Lento - 8 Lines Poetry Contest

This is a good one, Terry. It flows, and it has a dynamite ending. Loved it.
