How Does My Garden Grow?
Hauling manure
From the neighbor's horse stall
Raking and tilling
And that isn't all
A small wooden fence
To make a surround
So our dog won't go in
And dig up the ground
Seeds and small plantings
Laid neatly in rows
Sprinkle with water
And pray that things grow
Some sunshine is added
Weeds carefully plucked
The first sprouts appear
Perhaps we're in luck!
Our garden is thriving!
The corn getting high!
Tomato plants blossom
A scarecrow stands by
This morning I rise
With anticipated cheer
Not knowing that the fence
Didn't keep out the deer
Our bountiful garden
No longer brings glee
With deer tracks all over
Our crops history!!
I get in the car
And I'm soon on my way
I'm lucky the market
Is open today!!
