Life's a Garden Too!

By MR John Blackall

Collection of poems about gardens, countryside and life. Gloria the Gorgeous. Gloria the Gorgeous is a favourite phrase of mine, I use it when I talk to plants, as they like a bit of rhyme. It's not that we like Latin, or know just what it means, It's a little idiosyncrasy meaning all's not what it seems. It started with the foxglove one warm and muggy night, As I staggered through the garden, towards the kitchen light, I'd cursed on falling over, and fell and hurt my head. I awoke to a conversation, and this is what they said, The sot has fallen over, he's drunk and off his head, If he falls on us we've had it, I hope the bugger's dead. I listened very carefully, just to get it right And I heard one tell another that I had called them all a blight The primrose and the daffodil said they never meant really cared It wasn't worth the bother when coming from a nerd. I just could not believe it, plants had another life, I had a talking garden, So crawled in to tell the wife.
