Please accept this ‘Gardner’s Mate’
To ease the work on your estate.
Give him long grass and weeds to eat
And he will keep the garden neat.
But do not turn him on his edge
To try to trim a lofty hedge,
And remember that it is always best
To have road cones and a neon vest.
Gardners Mate
A poem by Margaret A. Holmes from the Holmes Frontier poetry collection: Gardners Mate.
