Lost In Rowde

There's something odd down in Rowde I'm not sure what it is It can't be seen when I take a look But my salad ... it got took I grow a lot of lettuce Raddichio as well However now there is no quibble My lunch has had a nibble We had some dandelions although some call them weeds while we like their rather tasty leaf they're gone as well - that's my beef So then I watched intently To see what I could see What could eat my collard greens and kale Must surely be a blue whale And at last I espied it I saw it clear as day Not a whale, nor a brontosaurus My neighbour's long lost tortoise!
