In My Garden

For, What's In Your Garden contest So, What is, in my garden? Why'd you have to ask? It's all hard work, just wasted 'Cause nothings made to last I'm always fighting insects Like Beetles by the score Moths, flies and cutworms I tell you, this is war Caterpillar larvae Crawling over all my fruit And hidden in the soil Ragweed’s taken root Half my plants are dying Soon the other half will go Some say I should, grow grass instead But I really hate to mow

Thanks Fay, actually I'm a good gardener, but the part about the lawn is true.
