Timothy Mcguire Poet Rhyme

Spring Garden

Once again this spring I'm in the mood
To start a garden and grow some food
I layout the plot and get my plow
I'm doing things like I know how
The easiest thing everyone knows
Is to plant in nice straight even rows
Gardens take work and can be a pain
Particularly if we run out of rain
My garden wont grow even though we need it
I suppose I should get off my couch and weed it
Gardens can be fun or create a lot of strife
Depending how much work I can get from the wife

Caren Krutsinger February 18, 2019 at 9:01 PM The ending was a funny thing to read! A garden is a lot of work for one, for sure. The rewards of the garden though make it all worth it. A wonderful poem for Chantelle's contest. Timothy Mcguire February 18, 2019 at 9:55 PM Thank you Caren, yes gardens are a lot of work.
