Larry the Gardener and Scruffy

Larry and his Sheep Dog Scruffy
Are together always on the road
Larry has knowledge of gardening
So he is well known by all
Larry has a huge van
So he packs what tools he needs 
Even brings his lawn chair
As well his dog Scruffy and beer

He works from house to house
His dog Scruffy keeps him company
When the gardening is done
Larry and Scruffy play ball
When Larry's job is done
They play ball together
They are company for each other

Larry my gardener sits on my deck
He is a gnome sits in a lawn chair
His hat is red pointy on top
His beard is long and white
Green jacket,blue pants
the boots he wears is black

Scruffy is a two tone color
Lit grey and white in color
With a bright pink tongue
Scruffy is my statue dog
