World Nude Gardening Day 2025
World Nude Gardening Day 2025
You’re inappropriately dressed my dear
My husband said to me.
Don’t you know it’s World Nude Gardening Day
I heard it on the radio, first Saturday in May
And you’re out here fully clothed you see.
I thought, Oh No, your smugly face,
Your smile I will wipe off.
You do not think that I will come out nude.
So, quickly did I strip my clothes, went out to my backyard
And stood there starkers, not at all subdued.
When he saw me, he nearly choked,
I’d really wiped his grin.
I couldn’t let his challenge pass me by.
Unbeknown to him I went inside, stripped off then to comply
And that’s how this tradition did begin.
We had a laugh, took some pics,
On Facebook I did post.
But when my sons both saw this, they then gasped
And to this day every year, pray I won’t go out
I know they hope today will be the last.
Also, today we have to choose
a brand-new government.
Before I garden, I will need to vote.
Perhaps I could just go down there in nothing but a coat
But if it slipped off, face amercement.
I will not let this interruption
Spoil my gardening day.
It really does not matter who will win.
Because they promise us the world to lower inflation,
But really can’t believe a word they say.
No, I will stay at home in my yard
My garden I’ll attend.
There’s much to do like mowing, weed and prune.
If I am quick with all these tasks, could finish them by noon
Then to you all my pictures I can send.
Because I know each year
You want to see what I will do.
And if I bring a smile to everyone
Then that is what this day’s about, first Saturday in May
World Nude Gardening Day for me is just for fun.
