Bryn Strudwick Poet Rhyme

Mystery Solved

MYSTERY SOLVED

I watch all the gardening programmes
And follow their advice.
I spend a fortune on bedding plants
To make my garden look nice.
But nothing ever seems to grow,
I really don’t know why.
Though I follow the instructions,
They just curl up and die.
And so, in desperation,
I sowed those “Mystery Seeds”
And now I’ve solved the mystery;
They all came up as weeds.
