The Perfect Lawn

Oh I wish I had gone for the turf
Instead of just seedin’ bare earth
It would be lush and green
And a joy to be seen
I wish I had gone for the turf

Oh I wish I had plumped for the turf
Of the green stuff we have such a dearth
The pigeons are feedin’ 
On all of my seedin’
I wish I had laid down some turf

The next time will surely be turf
I now know its value and worth
For the grass seed’s a dud
We’ve just patches of mud
How I wish I had just bought the turf
