that allotments are somewhere to relax?
Those TV programmes where old men
never need to bend their backs
but chat over cups of tea in their sheds
admiring their shiny sheets of black plastic
beside their DIY barely raised beds.
No need anymore for winter digging
or hours bending over summer weeding.
So there's plenty of time to just stretch out
on comfy chairs with integral table
admiring the plot where the kids are able
to play on the artificial grass !
