My Garden

MY GARDEN

One man’s garden is another man’s nightmare,

Mowing, seeding, raking and watering too.

Is not the way to satisfy me,

And certainly not things I choose to do.

What is wrong with leaves upon a lawn,

And a bare spot here and there?

Who said my yard must look like yours,

Where is this concept declared?

Given a choice between fishing and yard work,

Is something I take serious.

I cast my vote for fishing,

Although, sometimes it makes my wife delirious.

I have a perfect reason,

To do the things I select.

You see I live in the woods,

It is not all neglect.
