Garden nonsense

GARDEN NONSENSE

The gillyflower in a shaded bower

Winks at the pinks

And the tall wallflowers,

Their scent bent

By the sweet pea breeze,

Make me want to cough and sneeze

While bees with knees

And ants in pants

And worms that turn

Creepy crawly in the fern.

Hollyhocks in socks

And stocks in smocks,

Beans in jeans

And leeks in breeks,

Oats in coats

And flies in ties:

A sight for sore eyes.

Naught is aught

And aught is naught

But a strange green thought,

In short.
