Watering the Garden
How I miss Spring with showers supreme
rainy weather kept everything green
But now it's June in the summer heat
have to water or it's your garden's defeat
An early heatwave it is blazing hot
everything gets scorched especially in a pot
so watering each morning never stops
thirsty plants need watering a lot
With a garden hose and nozzle galore
I water and spray and water some more
Over a hundred the temperature rise
how much of the poor garden survive
I sat in my chair and aim the nozzle clear
watering watering everywhere
The shower setting when I am near
the jet, full, center for way over there
A soaker used if I need a break
the cone is playful the angle great
Mist for my face to keep cool
flat for spraying as the leaves drool
Use jet setting to spray away
birdbath's dirty water from birdies play
then fill it high to the top
holding spray down when full stop
I like to water it's almost like play
with my nozzle so many ways to spray
The garden remains green and the birdies sing
pretty flowers, fruits and veggies it brings.
