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
