My Garden

This is the sad tale of my garden...

My Garden
I exit the house
With joy and a smile
It's time to plant a garden
That will last a while

Boy, was I wrong
About that last line
It didn't take long
For the flowers to die

I'm rather persistent
So, I tried again
For my beautiful garden
But guess what happened then

I forgot to water
Those poor, little plants
So, they followed the others
In the death stance

A third time, then
We bought some flowers
But they dried up
Without water showers

I think I'll wait
A few more years
To plant another garden
To avoid the tears.
