Grass is growing, lawn wants mowing,

Edges shearing, rockery clearing.

Time for sowing, all that hoeing,

Seedlings feeding, borders weeding.

Peas need sticking, fruit needs picking,

Plants want staking, leaves want raking.

Deadheads snipping, hedges clipping,

Brambles chopping, branches lopping.

Nettles hacking, bonfires stacking,

Limbs are aching, back is breaking -----

Think I'll sit ---- a bit.
