Planting Garden Platoons
25 people in a neighbourhood, could really
Impact the area for good' if ten
Committed gardeners keen; could, gave advice to
Others, say a minimum of fifteen? All within
A half-mile square. Gardens on a minimum
Also fifty feet square! To plant some fruit trees
And beds of veg? Rows of corn beside the
Shed to allow a beekeeper, for pollination
It would feed that group; could inspire a
Nation? On large village greens, would what be sown? I can
See possibilities
Almost endless on the growing I say a healthy initiative what say
You?
Could it be aided? Would the government help too?
That might mend
Some fences? and cause cohesion
With some in politics who aren’t just like a
Damaging lesion.'
