PLAY IN THE DIRT
As you find yourself a little lonely, as you are getting up in years,
Perhaps a flower garden will help take away some tears.
Your coffers are a little low, but don‘t just sit and fret,
Plant yourself a garden, soon your troubles you will forget.
Plant a few tomatoes, propped up with a stick,
Don’t forget chives, garlic or onions, they help you not get sick.
Have a patch of peas and for-get-me-not’s, next to the beans,
A good sharp hoe to lean on is helpful by all means.
Adding a few flowers in the vegetable row,
Will assure there will be some color when it’s starts to snow.
Right there with the marigolds, mix a tater plant or two.
A rutabaga or parsnip will add great taste to any stew.
Better plant a peony and clematis, that grows on a vine,
Gives your garden color, which will help you not to pine.
Plant a few cucumbers and squash, pansy’s in a row,
And lots and lots of zinnia’s for they are easiest to grow.
When you find yourself a fretting, because you move not so fast,
Plant yourself a garden it will help the summer last.
