How the Garden Grows

Winter's hard to rhyme
 We're prisoners in some icy pantomime
 Just waiting for the wind to change his mind
 And sing us green
 April starts to whisper to the trees
 I hoe and you plant the trees
 Canterbury Bells begin to ring
 The sparrows are stealing string
 Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee
 Now life's a major key
 We've got mud between our toes
 This is how the garden grows
 Midnight in July
 We see the season spread across the sky
 We wake up to a nosy dragonfly
 Against the screen
 You just love to bite me where it shows
 You kiss me
 Then hide my clothes
 Running through the sprinklers nearly raw
 We've just disproved Newton's law
 How can I break even with the weeds
 In love so beyond my needs
 Blossoms on you Mama's rose
 This is how the garden grows
