" THE MISSING HEDGE"

DIVIDING MY GARDEN I HAVE A HIGH WALL ROUND ABOUT SEVEN FOOT HIGH.

OVER THIS WALL LIVES THE BLOKE YOU'LL REMEMBER WHO LINED UP ALL THOSE MINCE PIES.

WELL PLANTED IN HIS GARDEN ALONG THE LENGTH OF THIS WALL.

ARE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING EVERGREEN SHRUBS SOME QUITE LARGE AND SOME SMALL.

WHITE LACY CAPPED HYDRENDGA CIATHUS FULL BLOOMING ALL BLUE.

ALL FACING MY KITCHEN WINDOW THERE A PICTURE I LOVE I DO.

SPARROWS AND BLUE TITS THE GREENFINCH ROBINS IN WINTER I SEE WHEN IT'S COLD.

BUILDING THERE HOMES HERE WELL YESTERDAY ON RETURNING HOME LOW AND BEHOLD.

JUST A BARE WALL WAS FACING ME AND THIS GUY WAS STOOD THERE IN VIEW.

OH DEAR I SAID !!! WHERE HAVE THE SHRUBS GONE HE SAID WHATS IT TO DO WITH YOU.

HE'S A VERY IGNORANT PERSON THIS GUY SO I SAID TO HIM QUITE NICE.

I JUST WONDERED WHY YOU HAVE CUT THEM ALL DOWN I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

HE SAID OH!!! I KNOW YOU LOVE NATURE AND THE BIRDS ETC WELL I.

DON'T LIKE NOISY BIRDS IN MY GARDEN SO THATS THE REASON WHY .

OK!! I SAID AND I WENT INSIDE MY HEART HAD SUNK TO THE FLOOR.

I COULD HAVE CRIED A BUCKET LOAD WELL NOT JUST A BUCKET LOAD MORE.

I REALY LOVE EVERY GARDEN PLANT AND THE BIRDS HOW I LOVE TO WATCH.

FELT SO DEPRESSED I COULD HAVE SAT DOWN AND OPENED A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH.

THEY SAY THERES NOWT AS FUNNY AS FOLK WELL THIS BLOKE IS TOP OF THE LIST.

AND THANK GOODNESS THE WALL IS SEVEN FOOT HIGH COS HE WILL NOT BE MISSED.

WHEN I SIT OUT IN MY GARDEN HE'S NOT VISIBLE OVER THE WALL.

I HOPE AT SOMETIME HE SITS ON IT AND LIKE THE GREEN BOTTLES HE FALLS.

NO I DON'T LIKE TO WISH ILL OF PEOPLE BUT THIS GUY IV'E NEVER MET.

ONE AS NASTY AND IGNORANT HE'S A GUY I REALY I DETEST .

THE FLIPPING IGNORANT FELLOW I AM WONDERING NOW IF HE.

WILL USE THE WALL TOP AGAIN TO LINE PIES UP BUT LET HIM COS YOU KNOW ME.

HELLS BELLS THERE WILL BE AN OUTCRY HE WILL THINK HIS DAY IS DONE.

COS I'LL BE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT REMOVING THEM WON'T IT BE FUN. HE-HE.

IF HE DOESN'T LIKE BIRDS WHATS HE FEEDING ALL THESE PIES TO IT MAKES ME THINK.

HE'S WAISTING HIS TIME ANYWAY COS THEY'LL BE GONE IN A BLINK.

HE ALWAYS PUTS THEM OUT SO LATE IN THE EVENING HAS HE GONE MAD.

NO I THINK HE'S A GOADER PROBABLY SPOILT AS A LAD.

RECKONS HE CAN DO AS HE WANTS WELL HE DON'T GET HIS WAY WITH ME.

THIS WALL IS ON THE DEEDS OF MY HOUSE SO I'LL SHOW HIM HE'LL SEE.

WHEN HE GETS UP IN THE MORNING AND FINDS HIS PIES ARE ALL GONE .

JUST LIKE I DID THE BEAUTIFUL SHRUBS THIS FUED WILL GO ON AND ON.

BECAUSE MOTHERHEN HAS THE PACIENCE OF JOB AND I'LL PUT A FIGHT UP HE'LL SEE.

JUST AS I DID BEFORE WITH SATSUMAS HE'LL BACK DOWN FIRST HE-HEEEEEEEE.

I AM AT THE END OF MY TETHER NOW NO MATTER HOW NICE YOU ARE.

TO HIM HE JUST WILL NOT TRY TO BE FRIENDLY HE'S NASTY SO I SAY BLAH !!!!

I AM GOING TO MISS THOSE BEAUTIFUL SHRUBS AND ALL THE BLOSSOM ON SHOW.

IT'S A SIN IN MY EYES HE'S CUT THEM ALL DOWN DUG THEM OUT IT HAS STRUCK ME DUMB.

AND WHEN YOU ARE A LOVER OF NATURE AND THIS HAPPENS IT 'S NOT MUCH FUN.

NEVER MIND LETS HOPE THE BIRDS COME TO MY SHRUBS I'M SURE THEY WILL DO IN TIME.

SO IT'S BYE BYE AGAIN LOOK AFTER YOURSELVES WISH ME LUCK FROM "MY SIMPLE RHYMES"
