Bulbs
Written with help by Hannah Yorke Gambhir
The leaves are changing colour and the air has a crisp chill
Time to dig up the garden and give it a good till
Time to plant some bulbs in the rich garden soil
And in the spring you will see the reward to your toil
The bulbs will sleep dormant all winter long
And in the spring they will sing an earthly spring song
You will have tulips and narcissus and crocus to delight
Your garden will be awash with yellow, red, purple and white
So go put on your gardening gloves and get ready to sow
And watch in the spring to see what will grow!
