(Not mine by the way!!!)
All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all
But what they never mention, Though gardeners know It's true, Is when He made the goodies, He made the baddies too
All things spray and swattable, Disasters great and small, All things paraquatable, The Lord God made them all
The greenfly on the roses, The clubroot on the greens, The slugs that eat your lettuce, And chew the aubergine
The drought that kills the fuchias, The frost that nips the buds, The rain that drowns the seedlings, The blight that hits the spuds
The midges and mosquitoes, The nettles and the weeds, The pigeons in the green stuff, The sparrows on the seeds.
The fly that gets the carrots, The wasp that eats the plums, How black the gardeners outlook, Though green may be his thumbs
But still we gardeners labour, Midst vegetables and flowers, And pray what hits our neighbours, May somehow bypass ours.
