A Lesson in Gardening

A lesson in gardening

Lady: "if you want to see my garden,

We must hurry on this way;

For a garden is most splendid

In the middle of the day.

Come look at these chrysanthemums,

They're lovely when they're blue.

And the roses over here, my love,

Aren't they gorgeous too?

And the daisies here, and lilies there,

My word, do those look fine!

The best garden in the country, Love,

And I grew it! it's all mine!

Look right there, what a lovely flower!

And you know, I don't recall

Ever seeing that here before,

Or planting it at all.

It must be the most perfect flower

Ever grown from seed-

Man: I don't mean to be rude my dear,

But I believe that is a weed.

Lady: Oh my!
