Garden

Bark the normal red
And rocks full of led
Flower petals, colours of the rainbow
Far better than dads stinky old toe
The potatoes growing far below
As far as you can guess it goes
If animals ruin your garden yell, “ pardon you” and send them away
While doing gardening do not go astray
Hire some gardeners to work for you
While you and your family work in the garden too.
The garden will glow from moonlit plants
Just be careful for those truly ugly ants
Grow your own garden year after year
It will be glamorous and you’ll want to shed a single salty tear.
