The garden wilting in the heat
trees take on the sun,defiant limbs aloft
shading tender plants and scratching birds
the shade as welcome as a shower;
old oak seat bleaching in the sun
bosoms,thighs and painted toes
linen hats and sandals,cotton shorts
children by the dozen,not allowed to run.
Enjoy the flowers,read the Latin tags
this is serious stuff, gardens to be enjoyed
grandmas and dads,but children please be quiet.
The fountain's there for fun,water falls and bridges,
you must not splash in plastic shoes
this is not Llandudno !
