Happy Harvey

Happy Harvey hippity hopped happily

along the hilly trail, hoping to harvest

some noon-time morsels of garden delights.

Aware that hidden, unseen, within the gardener’s

garden huffing, puffing, stumbling, bumbling

was a protective bull dog – named Puggrub.

Puggrub, loved, lying by the garden lights

surrounding the fast-growing delights.

Inhaling the tempting smells of the garlic,

rhubarb, hot peppers, spicy basil, and mint

all the things that Harvey did not desire one bit!

But so inviting to Harvey were all the vegetables

that Harvey loved and were edible.

Growing in the far corner of the garden

a long way from where Puggrub prowled

growing plentiful were orange carrots and lettuce,

leafy delights, like kale, romaine lettuce, spinach,

and dandelion greens.

So happy Harvey and Puggrub seldom, if ever,

crossed paths in the gardener’s garden, allowing

Harvey too often nibble. Filling his tummy.

He found lunchtime meals yummy!
