Show Just Folks By Edgar A. A Guest WINTER GARDENING Of all the reading known to toman toman toman I man Which floods the presses presses of the hour The bit Im I'm happiest to scan Is catalogue of fruit and flower Which brings into my cosy room The glory of next summers summer's bloom Outside the skies are bleak and gray The earth is blanketed with snow But here are pages which display display display dis dis- dis- dis play The loveliest things that grow Here though the gusty northwind north northwind northwind wind blows In bud and bloom are phlox and androse androse androse rose What if the spring be weeks away And earth is locked to all delight delight delight de de- de- de light I can go gardening today Yes and go gardening tonight I can plant everything I see And wish they'd blossom thus for me I run the brief descriptions through In fancy planting here and there I send for all creations new To brighten little spaces bare And nearer nearer draws the spring The while Im I'm winter gardening Copyright 1942 Edgar A.
