My mum's garden in the spring


Smile!  At the bluebells, waving in breeze
Bob!  Goes the robin, bobbing round their knees
POP!  Sounds the rhubarb, growing in the patch
Woof!  Says Pippin, finishing off her scratch

Heave!  Go the seedlings, growing ever tall
Coo!  Say the turtle doves, shagging on the wall
Blushed!  Is the apple blossom, pinking on the bough
Munch!  Scoffs the wood pigeon, grazing like a cow

Out!  Cries mother, tugging at a weed
Chatter!  Go the goldfinch, mobbing at the seed
Ha!  Says grandpa, solving puzzles in the sun
Glower!  That's the rain again, spoiling all the fun
