Our fig trees, firs, apples are big

Each day our fig tree grows bigger

Sadly the figs are hard to eat

But the leaves have lots of vigour


Stay calm, plants grow, do not panic

Online guides say we need to prune 

But to be truly organic

Only when we see the full moon


Meanwhile we have mountains of leaves

Which cause daily acute distress

 I'm a tidy person and grieve

At this woke unrecycled mess


But don't let dreams make gardeners grieve

Perfectionism sends distress

Be poisitve. We've big fig leaves

If we ever need a new dress.
