Whilst the lilies blaze
In the summer rays
The butterflies dance
In their summer romance
The robin awaits
The fresh worms to escape
From the ground
They tease,until they are found
Where gardeners sow
Fresh veg to grow
Potatoes,leeks and marrow
The scarecrow stands so proud
Thankful for the sunshine now
He watches with an evil eye
When the birds reluctantly pass by
Roses parade along the fence
Flirting with the bees,
Soaking up their heavy scent
Capturing the moment
Of this summer scene
