Question: A bit of silliness to make you laugh, I hope!. Okay!?
I bin digging in me shrubbery
You'll never guess what I found
A Tesco supermarket trolley
In depths of ivy bound!.
It took me almost one whole hour
To cut the ivy and dig it out!.
And in the basket guess what!?
I found a bag of sprouts!

That last line is a lie
But, I needed something to rhyme
with 'out'!.!.!.the remainder is
true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is very good!. No need to explain yourself there in the end!. Remember, nobody wants to know how the butcher makes the sausage!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I liked the "bag of sprouts" line - it leaves the question - what was in that bag - that caused the sprouting!? It could lead into another story!.

EDIT: Thanks, Granny - we have things called "bean sprouts" that they put in salads and on sandwiches!. I thought - since the cart had been "lost" in your yard - that it was old - and something was "growing" in the bag!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
