Mrs. Gordon s garden growsnot a radish nor a rose.Not a beet1 or blade of grassin the bed beside our class.Not a truffle. Not a tree.Not a pepper nor or pea.Not a pansy, peach or pear.No azaleas anywhere.Not a pumpkin2, parsnip, plum,carrot or chrysanthemum3.No forget-me-not or fig4.Not a single sprout5 or twig6.No carnations7, cabbage, corn.Not a thistle, thatch8 or thorn.Not a berry. Not a bean.Nothing yet remotely green.Watering and sprinkling seeds,watching warily9 for weeds,Mrs. Gordon rakes and hoes.Still her garden never grows.But she doesn t seem to mind.That s the way it was designed.Mrs. Gordon s quite contentgardening upon cement.
