    I like my garden in spring
    when every growing thing
    is small and in its' place
    respecting each other's space.

    In summer all my plants
    are growing like elephants,
    invading everywhere
    and stretching here and there.

    I nip and tug and tuck
    but have no greater luck
    in keeping them in place
    in their proper space.

    In autumn I despair!
    I scream and tear my hair.
    The plants are everywhere,
    the mess I cannot bear.

    In winter I decide
    to tame the big and wide.
    I purchase sticks and thread
    and tuck'em under my bed.

    But then it's spring again...
