Veg Analogy

Life is like an allotment

You grow loads of courgettes

Because you can grow courgettes

But just because you can grow them

Doesn't mean you shouldn't try 

To grow aubergines

To dabble with beetroot

To risk squashes

Life is like Rhubarb

Once you have a plant

It will grown on its own

You don't really like it

You don't want to use it

You want Strawberries

Long for Raspberries

Covet Blackberries

Life however, could be

Like that veg plot in Greece

On that telly programme

With that passionate chef

Where peppers and tomatoes grow

Under hot Mediterranean sun

Handled with caring touch

Varied and abundant 

Life is bare earth in a small garden

Full of promise and adventure

To make the plot 

That makes you smile

To grow the veg

That you desire

That feeds your body

Grown with love
