Not Easy

Yup, its not easy
           being a female gardener
       fun glorious fun
       passionate joy in sun -

BUT --  just now for instance
    deconstructing a tree
          snap --  thwack --- stings like a bee
    as green branch flicks a boob
                   YOOWSER!!!

  Loppers and boobs its a horror show
  No holding up close for leverage strong
     or squeezes, bruises sing
         a black/blue song
   hold far away from chest
        use more muscles is best.

  No getting the hose out for a convenient piddle
   Too obvious when female needs to widdle.

          Of course I'm smarter
          So that's a useful starter
       
      For massive shrub removal got a good technique
         but best done when no one around to peek
      As when final root comes loose
      I go head over bum, like a boomerang goose!

                And YEAH,
      When I get home really do need
            a comforting beer! 



Written 6th July 2018 for Nick Trim's contest.
Amuse me with your rhyme.

So creative, Virginia!! As a member of the male species (or whatever we are), I never would have imagined any of this!! So real ... at the same time it's utterly hilarious! Clever romp! ~ Gershon
