Modern gardening

Not long ago the tools of the trade

were trowel, hoe, fork and spade.

But now, as if by TV law,

it's hammer and nails, drill and saw.

A disappointing evening

The singer climbed on top of the amps;

the male bass guitarist wore a dress.

Such circus antics more than hint

their music won't impress.

driving home pop music playing

country lanes at 1 a.m.

nearside verge a hedgehog crossing

used to have them in my garden

not for years now take it with me

passed it damn reversed pell mell

but the grass too dark to see -

good luck hedgehog wish you well
