    She dug the plot on Monday
    The soil was rich and fine
    She forgot to thaw out dinner ...
    So out we went to dine.

    She planted roses Tuesday
    (She says they are a must)
    They really were quite lovely
    But she then forgot to dust ...

    On Wednesday it was daisies
    They opened with the sun
    All whites and pinks and yellows
    (But the laundry wasn't done!)

    The poppies came on Thursday
    A bright and cheery red
    I guess she really was engrossed ...
    She forgot to make the bed!

    It was dahlias on Friday
    In colours she adores
    It never bothered her at all,
    The crumbs upon the floors.

    I hired a maid on Saturday
    My week is now complete
    My wife can garden all she wants
    The house will still be neat!

    It's nearly lunchtime Sunday
    And I can't find the maid!
    Oh no! I can't believe it
    She's out there with a spade!

    OMG Gogs, that could be me, lol. Who on earth would choose housework over gardening. I got myself in a right mood last week cos for 2 days I couldn't get out in the garden! Mind you the bedrooms look very neat, lol.

    cheers
