this is my journey through my backyard

a trail of ants marching up the wall
oh, don't I just hate you all
Bright yellow lemons growing on trees
some are rotten and some aren't
beautiful plants and flowers growing in pots
dead or alive, they're all still beautiful
apples which are as small as ants

listen to the dog barking
it's really loud
it can make you deaf!
you could also hear cars passing by
and birds singing
as loud as horning trucks

you can feel....... hapiness inside you
fun and laughter
and air running through your veins
and ants biting you
ouch i'm in pain

some squashed lemons
they smell sweet and sour
and the nature
ahh that's so good
