Itty Bitty Garden In the City

Oh tiny tomatoes
I love you so!
I never thought 
I'd ever grow
Enough to even
Make a salad
But there's a few
To inspire this ballad
The planting season
Is nearly passed
It seemed to come
And go so fast
I don't have much
Of a bumper crop
My plants they sway
They droop and drop
But there's enough
To make me proud
Don't have a green thumb
For crying out loud!
My neighbors do
They're country bumpkins
Perhaps I'll try
My luck with pumpkins

very cute! The bouncy rhythm and trite rhymes made it a fun read as it evoked memories of the childlike wonder and wide-eyed enthusiasm so many of us lose as we journey through adulthood. I have written a similar piece with this in mind, they are so much fun! Thank you for posting, I very much enjoyed reading, made me smile!
