Summer Garden In Kansas

Day opened up like a teenage flower My marigolds were a beautiful sight Looked for a sign of a possible shower Clouds looked pessimistic in daybreak light I watered pink roses; they stood up straight. Geraniums looked amazingly bright. Red hollyhocks waved from the garden gate Petticoats dancing merrily around A warm Kansas day was probably our fate Carrots were popping right out of the ground Green beans and peas ready to harvest too A prettier garden could not be found I thought this was a most gentle bower With this beauty it’s hard to be dour
