Garden Pride

What greater pleasure
than surveying at timely leisure
the results of our nagging
garden muse on the conscience
of reluctant gardeners? Our 
laggardly tendency to
ignore weeds in the garden
forgetting to tidy spent blooms
water the garden beds and
borders when rainfall is scarce
are those times when our 
diligent muse whispers her
admonishments in our
elsewise-occupied ears, 
spurring us to tardy action.
But oh so rewarding the results
as greenery and living beauty
thrives and throbs bearing no
grudge at our haphazard
attention to duties we surely
owe our faithful garden.
