The Week Of A Superstitious Gardener
On…
Monday-
I shall steal a plant,
God forbid it if I can’t
It brings such good luck
That I can’t deny
For A stolen plant can never die.
Tuesday-
I shall get reall cross,
Hotter than a steaming broth
I’ll sow the seeds for gleaming peppers
Who’ll turn out even spicier than ever
Fuelled by an anger no one can better.
Wednesday-
I shall observe my foxgloves,
Though I don’t expect much luck
The creatures here are too small too even touch
Yet fairies always flourish by foxglove
Maybe on Wednesdays they fly up and up.
Thursday-
I shall gift Gardener Jack a cutting,
Hoping he will forget to say something
A thank you will always lead to death
Or at least the plant failing to do its best
And I wouldn’t want that in my rest.
Friday-
I shall paint the manner,
let’s pray no one steps under my ladder
Such bad luck you wouldn’t believe
All the fault of that gardener Steve
They’ll say as they turn to look at me.
Saturday-
I shall hang fresh fennel ,
In all the doorways to ward of evil
Witches, spirits demons and more
We’ll seal the manner from them all
Then id better grow some more.
Sunday
I shall rest on the sabbath day,
And count up my weekly pay
For the gardens look superb today
The house is painted and perfectly safe
All superstitions are accounted for
The week can begin again…
