Then we all downed tools and done the football pools in an Engalish Coooouuuntttrrriiieee Gaaaaaarden
(Bows)

Thanyou phoaks one an all ... :)

ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN parody

Somehow the flowers never seem to grow
In my English country garden.
Here are a few of the reasons that I know,
And those I miss I hope you'll pardon:
Nettles in the flower beds,
Pigeon droppings on the shed,
Stick to the wall and harden.
There are ten million weeds,
That's killing all the seeds,
In my English country garden.

I've had a look at an illustrated book,
Showing every garden creature;
But I know a few, too horrible to view,
That the author dared not feature:
Kamikaze bumblebees,
Boa constrictor centipedes,
Even a vampire robin.
You need a gun, not a spray,
To keep the pests at bay
In my English country garden.

Clearly I see that I shall never be
A successful garden grower,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do,
And to hell with Percy Thrower:
Get a load of broken bricks,
Cover 'em with Readymix,
Spread it and let it harden,
Then I'll cultivate
A concrete estate,
And you can stick your country garden.

With apologies for poor punctuation and any spelling mistakes, this is a parody I collected once upon a time. Sorry I cannot tell you where it came from. I learned it a long time ago and never was very good at remembering or noting details of such.

Jon

PS Percy Thrower was a well known and popular television gardener who is now deceased.
