A watering can is so easy to useJust fill it
And spill it
And your plants will grow
So simple and I'm so easily amused
Filling it
Spilling it
Watching the water flow
Around the roots the water oozes
I filled it
And spilled it
Voila! It's a garden show
You give such life to this little old can. I can imagine this a poem for a child. Very nice.

When my son was turning four, the birthday present he desired was a watering can. I guess this is why!
ReplyDelete"T"'s remarks to me reminded me of when my boys were little how I used to keep them entertained on a hot summer day. I would give each of them a bucket of water and a clean paintbrush and they would then go around the outside of the house "painting" it with water! They had great fun and it usually ended up with all of us having a water fight-great way to cool off!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your kind comments!
Clever and catchy...I like the use of repetition.
ReplyDeleteI love it. You did a great job. Fill it and spill it. From now on when I water my flowers I am going to tell HH (Handsome Husband) I am going to fill it and spill it. LOL. Thanks for stopping by.
