In My Garden
 by dougie

in my garden where I've lately been
I spotted a plant such a lovely green
now I am no expert in social trend
and quite unlearned in mindly bend
but those leaves I thought could be
the same my Lad had shown to me

so friends from up the road and all
told them come visit we'll have a ball
a little wine and perhaps a snack
and maybe a surprise I'll unpack
so I rolled some up and let them go
and joined in like you'll never know

now of social skills I'm quite bereft
friends and such I have none left
cos the more we chuffed and puffed
the more we cursed and coughed
I thought it was the weed I'm told
but no... it was a bloody marigold
