The Winter Garden

The garden looks a bit of a mess And needs some gentle loving care It is something I must now address As winter leaves it cold and bare. The flowers have all done their best, The Brussels sprouts are now all gone Now the garden must take it's winter rest It's something I now have to work-on. The grass now looks a bit forlorn And the hedge has seen better days The vegetable nets are all but torn It's all suffering from some malaise. Oh it's such a cold thankless task But the garden is my little plot Providing vegetables is all I ask Where nothing ever goes to rot. So, knuckle down and get the job done Plant next years crops with cheer Winter's course will soon be run And spring will very soon be here!
