Oh lavender bush so fragrant and blue
What has my springer pup done to you
He,s bounced you and trounced you into the ground
I dont think you,ll be flowering next time around

Never to be seen your blue fragrant crown
He,s trashed you and bashed you all the way down
I scold him and told him to leave you alone
He defied me thats why your laying so prone

The garden is looking a bit of mess
Since "Ibo" arrived things grow even less
To punish him would be rather harsh
I,ve never reaaly been an Alan Titchmarsh

You are a true mentalist !

Thanks very much, memo to self dont ask Fudds for references, I was going to do a few lines about "Wandering lonely as a cloud through hosts of golden daffodils" but thought it sounded a bit naff and would never catch on !!!!

Very good - level 5b

(which reminds me - somewhere on this computer is one my daughter did... will try and find it!)

poor little lavender

Great - gave me a much needed smile. Now all we need is pics of the Kaftan and I'll be laughing again!

perhaps you could pen me one about what 'beaver' did to my laurel bush

might help cheer up my poor OH - so far we are £200 poorer and he has used up 3 weekends trying to fix it, that would have been better spent fishing ...
