Explore "Songs for Parents: My Garden" by John Chipman Farrar on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My garden was silly and stubborn; I worked, but the weeds worked, too; I dug and scraped and scrambled -- They hustled themselves and grew;
Now Ted's garden's fine and cleanly, He has lettuce and roses and peas -- Oh, most probably plants are like children -- They only behave when they please!
