Been outside nearly all day, spent the afternoon gardening with my little helper. He inspired this last year:
GARDENER'S DELIGHT
I have a special little friend
To help me through my toil
Who watches at my elbow
As I dig and weed the soil
I would not be without him
His songs make light the task
For a better motivator
I think you could not ask
His jaunty disposition
And his bright black shiny eyes
Fill me with a joyfulness
I really can’t disguise
His gift of time is generous
Given freely through the day
But he’s always very grateful
For what e’er I pass his way
And now he's got to know me
To my whistle oft he’ll come
With his throat of warmest orange
Like a tiny living sun
And when my work is over
And my tools I pack away
He can eat the caterpillars
I’ve uncovered as his pay
