Went to the allotment
it was quite overgrown
and not too much sign
of the things we had sewn
But after a while
spurred on by the weather
it was looking quite peachy
as we worked together
Enough rhubarb there
for a crumble or three
and the last of the lavender
just waiting for me
A butternut squash
in the weeds there we found
yellow and gorgeous
and close to the ground
And a few summer berries
from the shrubs on the side
Raspberries and blackcurrants
to give us some pride
And yes there’s more grass
than growing plots here
but it is our allotment
and throughout each year
We’ll play and discover
new things from the land
which we have there planted
by our own loving hand
