Never been much of a gardener...


Poem Artwork

My Garden…or the lack thereof…


 


Wish I do,


I could plant,


Like Floria and Katy do too,


Some kind of flower, a plant or something new,


But alas I know I cannot,


Got two black thumbs,


And eight dark fingers beyond, so dumb…


 


Have a hard time, do I, to even grow the easiest,


Like that of nice green grass, either it comes up slow,


Or it just never shows,


As a florist or landscaper I am the pits,


But don’t worry about me, no don’t pity,


I can do other things almost as well,


Hey, I can drive and not get lost, finding any city…

My garden became the graze lands for pigs,

horses, cattle and dogs...so I gave up!!

Love Tinka

A wonderful sense of direction for a green thumb sounds like a good trade to me. The grass is always greener. Enjoyed.
