Away In the Garden

Away in the garden No plants are ill fed The soil is perfect In all the raised beds The fencing surrounds All of the plants But something burrowed Who invited the ants There’s chewing and clipping At night while I rest Just wait til’ I get My hands on that pest I fired the shotgun To nab me a bun Don’t mess with my garden Run rabbit run

A fab poem I can relate to David although my issue in the garden is slugs and snails lol. Sorry I had to dock points as I wanted exact rhyme and the syllable count was also a little awry. Many congrats on your placement and thanks for taking time to enter the contest:-) hugs Jan xx

David you mention, Pest. My pest is a Deer! Using Irish Spring soap, not a shot gun. Your poem is so cute and entertaining, you are sure to win. Loved it my friend. Thanks for comment on mine.
