Ingredients:

  • all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small
  • all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all.
  • but what we never mention, though goodness knows it's true
  • lo , when he made the goodies, he made the baddies too.
  • all things spray and swattable, disasters great and small
  • all things paraquatable, the lord god made them all.
  • the greenfly on the roses, the maggots in the peas
  • manure that fills our noses - he also gave us these
  • the fungus on the goosegogs, the club root on the greens
  • the slugs that eat the lettuce, and chew the aubergines
  • the drought that kills the fuchsia, the frost that nips the buds
  • the rain that drowns the seedlings, the blight that hits the spuds
  • the midges and mosquitoes, the nettles and the weeds
  • the pigeons in the green stuff, the sparrows on the seeds
  • the fly that gets the carrots, the wasp that eats the plums
  • how black the gardener's outlook, though green may be his thumbs.
  • but still we gardeners labour, 'midst vegetables and flowers
  • and pray what hits our neighbour's will somehow bypass ours
  • all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small
  • all things wise and wonderful - the lord god made them all.
