    Have an allotment so largely into fruit and veg. Bit green I'm afraid but getting better as the years go by. If you can improve the poem feel free!

    The queue for water's long,
    The slugs have found my beans,
    But still I'll dig and sow and wait
    For perfect marrows, greens.

    I talk to every sprout,
    I fret when clouds appear,
    A weather eye, a hopeful heart —
    My plot is all I care.

    No holidays, no weekend break,
    Just cabbages that must succeed —
    I'm mad for rows upon tidy rows,
    And every blooming seed.

    And when the first green shoot appears,
    I grin like I've been paid —
    There's joy no gold can ever buy,
    In soil, and sweat, and spade.
