An Ode to -----My wife the Gardener-------oh dear, oh dear!

KingoftheCocktails profile image

........................................My Wife the gardener

She dug the plot on Monday-

the soil was rich and fine,

She forgot to thaw out dinner

so we went out to dine....

She planted roses Tuesday-

she said they are a must,

They really are quite lovely

but she quite forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was daisies-

they opened up with the sun,

All whites and pinks and yellow-

but the laundry wasn't done...

The poppies came on Thursday-

a bright and cherry red,

I guess she really was engrossed-

she never made the bed...

It was violets on Friday-

in colours she adores,

It never bothered her at all -

all crumbs upon the floors.

I hired a maid on Saturday -

my week is now complete,

My wife can garden all she wants-

the house will still be neat!

It's nearly lunchtime Sunday-

and I cannot find the maid,

Oh no! I don't believe it!

She's out there WITH THE SPADE!

I liked the poem. We had the garden cleared when we had building work. We have lived with 2 mud patches front and back for the last 9 months. Finally thanks to a donation from my father-in-law we are calling in the gardeners to dig over the mud and to put down lawn. The planting will be done to me and my husband. I can't wait and I think I will be just like the lady in the poem (but with oxygen). Keep them coming KOTC, you brighten my day.

Regards

Mandy

Well written King.... especially for this time of year ~ says it all ! :-) Have to confess like a few others here ...I would love a maid and a CHEF to cook my favourite meals - not to mention a chauffeur, oh yes, and a groom to look after the horses I'd have..... :-D

Take time with lifes pleasures the boring housework will always be there when the flowers fade, a time for everything and everything in its own time. :-)
