#writeclub #garden
It started as a plot of land owned
by a farmer – who used it
as fodder for his cows and sheep
in the wintertime
Fencing went up
as the cows and sheep
moved into another field
and a “For sale” Sign rose up
Nearby cottage owners
clubbed together
and as the farmer pocketed the cash
the cottage owners picked up the field
Carrots, Parsnip, Turnip and Swede
were planted to make the venture succeed
whilst flowers and fruit trees of various kinds
were planted to please inquisitive minds
The vegetables were made into delicious soup
while fruit pies were made by the enterprising group
and ate for teas down the street
occasionally sold at the village fair for a treat
