The Grows on You Garden - a little poem
22 comments
Like the plant world we all look different and need different environments/care. Hope you enjoy my little effort :-)
Some of us are prickly
Some are rampant thugs
Some of us are tasty
To rabbits,birds and slugs
Some of us are hardy
Some of us are fools
Some of us need tender care
Some like to bend the rules
Some of us need feeding
Others like a drought
Some need to be kept indoors
But others like it out
Some of us are creeping
Others are upright
Some prefer the daytime
Others scent the night
The gist of what I’m saying
It’s really plain to see
Our GoY forum members
Have abundant variety
And like a close knit family
We’re bound to have a clash
We’ll share a joke, a laugh, a smile
And sometimes teeth may gnash
I know I’m just a newbie
And haven’t met you all
But I look forward to many years
Of posting on my wall
Kindest regards to all GoY members!

Just found this. Going in my favourites. I do admire people who use words so well. Welcome to Goy and I hope you get as much pleasure out of Goy as the rest of us do.

Thanks! Just get the odd flash of inspiration now and then. I've probably made contact with more nice people in the last month than the last year by joining this forum and didn't realise how international it is, and how much expertise is out there :-)

Ok Julie, you are now approaching your 4 month anniversary, no longer technically a 'newbie'. I demand names!!
;)))))

Ha ha my lips are sealed. We artists like to preserve our integrity and anonymity :-D)))

She does, you know, her methods are too terrible to speak of............

Ah yes but that's my secret weapon...you don't know me well enough to guess what's up my sleeve ha ha :-D Only joking. I'd make a poor poker player - wear my heart on my sleeve and all that. Like you say I may as well give in now but I like a challenge :-)
