CLUB A Sad Lament.

Carol Alexander £20 (no.6) The lady who lives at 'The Laurels'
David Sanders £10 (no.64) Is a regular gardening fan.
Yvonne & Jeff Naylor £10 (no.116) Her garden though small,
£5 (no.99) Is the envy of all.
Edward Griffith £5 (no.13) I help her as much as I can.

Catrin & Will Whenever I'm passing 'The Laurels'
And we chatter as gardeners do.
I'm a little upset
For she seems to forget,
That I am a gardener too.

I often drop in at 'The Laurels.
To lunch, or to tea or to dine.
She will talk of her flowers,
For hours and hours.
But you won't hear a word
about mine.
