Buttercups and daisies

With buttercups and daisies
My lawn was all aglow
So I started up the thrasher
And I began to mow!

I cut the grass quite neat and short
'Til it all looked nice and great
Then trimmed back all the hedges
So that the fences could be seen!

The satisfaction that I got
From doing this wee chore
Was beyond compare to anything
That I'd ever done before!

So, I wrote a note to Joe the Gardener
Which he'll get when he come back,
It says "You're ruddy useless -
So now you've got the sack!"
