Vine Nursery Rhymes

[veggiechicken]

Rary, rary
Quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With Seaweed and shells
And little bluebells
And begonias, all in a row.

[MissPea]

Twinkle Twinkle little seed, will you grow to help me feed, Up a trellis, on a vine, in a greenhouse, make me wine, twinkle twinkle little seed, make me something that I need.

[rary]

VC or not VC it really doesn't matter
that little old Welsh woman
really likes to chatter

her garden trials, there's no denial
is sometime quite astounding
she scatters seeds among the weeds
then gives the ground a pounding

her methods though different from
the norm
actually does take on some form
with seeds and plants from A to Z
you will find them all set out in beds

but no matter what you think
her garden plans will make
you blink
she sits and dreams of some
weird scheme
to make you cough and splutter
for after all she is the leading
NUTTER

That grand chicken VC
She had ten thousand seeds,
She sowed them up at the top of the hill
And she chopped down all the weeds.

And when they came up they were good,
And when they grew big they were great,
When VC picked some of every one
She had dinner on a plate.

Baa,Baa, Jayell
Have you any Leeks?
No Sir, No Sir.
Wait a few more weeks.

Baa, Baa, Jayell
Have you any Mint?
No Sir, No Sir,
I looked but I di'nt.

Baa, Baa, Jayell
That very good news,
No Leeks or Mint,
Means I'm safe from Lamb Stews

Bye, Bye, Black Sheep
Glad you like the News,
Off you run 'til Springtime
To play with all the Ewes.

[Lumpy]

Boo Boo black slug,
Have you ate my leaf?
Yes Lump Yes Lump,
I am a nightly thief.

Boo Boo black slug,
Can you spare a bit?
No Lump no Lump
I always eat all it.

Boo Boo black slug,
Please spare a plant or two,
Why should I Lumpy,
If it’s only meant for you.

Boo Boo black slug,
Start to look around,
As I’ve sprinkled salt all over and onto the ground.

Lumpy Lumpy what a waste of time,
I’ll always get the most of it,
No matter what you do,
As I’m a little predator,
So a big Boo Hoo to you.

[mothhawk]

Slugs and snails they sat on the wall,
Slugs and snails said "We'll eat it all"
But we've beer traps and nematodes, egg shells and lime,
So watch out you molluscs you're on borrowed time.

[veggiechicken]

Lumpty Dumpty sat on the wall
'cos Lumpty Dumpty was really quite small.
Sitting high up there made Lumpty feel tall
And piles of old tyres would cushion her fall.

I had a little new plot, nothing would it grow
But a broken milk churn and a rusty crow
I dug and dug and dug again
I filled up skip loads three
And now I'm growing sunflowers
bigger than a tree...

[1Bee]

Lavendar blue dilly-dilly
Lavendar plain
Won't grow near me, dilly-dilly
'Cos we get too much rain.

[1Bee]

Sing a song of sixpense, a pocket full of jute
Four and twenty blackbirds, ate all my fruit
When the fruit was finished, the birds began to sing
Wasn't that a good reason to bring the netting in?

[1Bee]

Humpkin Pumpkin sat on the dirt
Humpkin Pumpkin had a growth spurt
All the plot growers who worked as a team
Couldn't lift Pumpkin to light Halloween

[Lumpy]

Hats off to 1 Bee who is now our resident poet. Well done you.

‘‘Twas the night before seeding.
And all round the house,
VC was grabbing as quiet as a mouse,
She had armfuls of seeds,
To spread the next day,
And, if they all grew whey hay hay.

Early next morning with no sound of a lark,
She stood in her garden,
Under cover of dark.

Ripped open packets were scattered about,
As she bimbled and sashayed the seeds all about.

Now grow you bluffers,
She muttered out loud,
Grow big and healthy and make me feel proud.

Of being a grower,
Like millions and more,
Who tend to the earth to put food in the store.

I’m proud to be potty,
She told little Spud,
As I care for our planet and you know that’s all good.

Youngest used to have nursery rhymes every night... I used to adapt them as we went to make him laugh.

The versions with all the poops were his favourite.

Love yours, Lumpy.
