I
look forward to my visit to you,
Your
cheery greeting rings true.
Once
inside, it's a Mecca for folks like me,
Lots
of beautiful things to see;
Indoor
plants, garden ones as well,
Seeds,
bulbs, planters are all to sell.
Sprays
and manures in every form,
Tools
for everything, including mowing the lawn.
Outside
is a lovely pond, near to which is a seat,
Take
stock, sit a while, and rest your aching feet.
Have
an ice cream, they are sold here,
Greenhouses
and sheds over there.
There's
an old worldy restaurant, leaded windows and oak beams,
Everything
is served, from coffee, to a full meal, it seems.
Through
its windows, fluffy goats to view,
Children
love it, the scenery is grand too.
There's
also a ladies room, if it's needed of course,
How
about a garden ornament? Oh look! There's a horse.
We
must take some peat and grit,
For
now, I think that is it,
We've
bought the things that we want, and had a lovely talk,
Just
one more thing, in your field we'll take the dog for a walk.
