Yes, Growing a Fine Ole Southern Garden

Yes, Growing A Fine Ole Southern Garden In the garden strawberries are dancing about so red Momma's cantaloupes laying there just waiting to be ate Over there luscious red roses resting in fertilized bed Them thar fine butterbeans are sho' nuff blooming out too late And that bright yellow corn this year is gonna yield a lot Sister's radishes, man what a fine and most tasty treat Watermelons over there looking great in the corner plot Those orange colored carrots sho' gonna be good to eat There growing gleaming dark green onions that will taste so fine Grandpa's chick peas in long rows sho-nuff need to be gotten Momma's own cabbages made a bumper crop so tasty to dine Alas! Those tomatoes, the entire lot are all rotten. Well friends, another down home well grown garden growing fine. We do things alright here just below the Mississippi line. Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet March 23 1971
