Each day I approach with exuberance
tackling the tasks that need tending,
deheading flowers who've lost their brilliance
pinching out tomatoes' suckers,
plucking beans and peas for supper
And now those weeds must be attacked
with a vengeance
They'll not survive my wrath!
Tie up the cucumbers,
haul out the hose...
To accomplish it all I'm ubiquitous.
To some the work seems momtonous,
sweaty, back breaking, foot-aching.
But for me at days end,
cocktail in hand
gazing at blooms of jubilance...
Truth be told
I must let you know
it leaves me feeling
salubrious!
There's kinks to work out, I know...I just didn't want you guys to think I'm sitting around doing nothing!
I tried that iambic pentameter thingy, but couldn't get it to work throughout...
"monotonous", yes...sorry for the typo!
