<> It's a hard graft, no bloody laugh , this back yard work . Hands full of dirt , swatting the flies around your eyes . Lifting dog lugs, spraying the bugs . Grunting . Groaning . Blooding , boning . Plotting . Potting . Lopping, chopping . Raking . Breaking . Shaking . Aching . Propagation . Dedication . Transplantation . Recreation . Sowing new seeds . Throwing out weeds . Treating clover . Bending over . It's not easy . Bendzee kneezees . On my leisure ,its a pleasure this endless work . Without a shirt a man must sweat . With beds he's put his punnets in. His gardening is in his hands, but it demands a lot of time . With God's sunshine to germinate, gardens create life once again . Holding the rain in tanks the go . So spare a 'mo . Breath in the air while you water . Gardening's gift gives you a life . It's therapy upon your knee . A gardens worth of life on earth spent in good time . Laying down lime . Seeing crops reap . Working the peat into the ground . The plants you spoil with fertile soil . Keeping grass down back and front both . Cutting back growth . Raking up leaves from all those trees in your back yard . It's very hard . Thorns on roses . Tangled hoses . Fertilizer dung in the air . Trimming hedges . Doing edges . When it is cool clean out the pool .
