"Home Sweet ..."

We have a lovely garden Where phlox and roses twine, And all our gladioli Are really rather fine, Where prize-size pink begonias You everywhere will find, We have a lovely garden But mostly in our mind.

We have a lovely garden Where flowers are bright and gay And all the seeds we purchase All sprout up as they say; Where fragrant pink carnations The cooling rain showers drink — We have a lovely garden But mainly when we think.

We have a mouldy garden With weeds quite six feet high, Where things that all need pruning Will greet the expert eye.

But let us go a-travelling, Whatever times we've tyad When we come home together It doesn’t look so bad.

Noelle Mason.
