“It Could Have Been A Lovely Summer”

July 15, 2009

A little ditty…..

It could have been a lovely summer

Sitting amongst sweet flowers, not nettles

Oh what a bummer

The barren patch of earth just longing to be fruitful

            With potatoes and beans and healthy things

            That would keep me youthful

The old herbaceous bed looks at me with sorrow

            Its blooming days are long gone now

I’ll sort you out tomorrow

The poor neglected path with its concrete cracked and broken

            With a new lease of life to change its journey   

The garden….and me… could be awoken

As for the patio, for fine dining alfresco

            Well, there’s no garden larder

            So it’s back down to Tesco

Oh where is my haven, my bolthole from stress

A place where chilled Sauvignon

Can spill down my dress

Enough of this dilly-dallying, this procrastination

            My senses are crying out

For a garden sensation

So lets get planning, I want to feel alive

            I know what to do

            Talk to Room105
