ALLOTMENTS

BABY

Daddy where is mummy going with our big wheelbarrow.

The garden is at the back not at the front, she must know.

FATHER

Oh, no. Mummy’s going down to the allotments,

So, we grow crops in our plot – they’re great investments.

Not only for food, also for the wildlife and good folk,

BABY

Well, I want to go too, so come on daddy please? No joke!
