It was the busy hour of four When from a city hardware store Emerged gentleman who bore screens, 50 feet of garden hose, 1 rake, 1 wheelbarrow. This gentleman with air distraught A big department shop then sought And there invested in or bought 40 yards mosquito netting,
 1 hammock, 1 croquet set. His business next our hero leads Unto a place which retails seeds. It takes to satisfy his needs
 24 packages assorted annuals, 20 rose bushes, 1 peck mixed bulbs. The sun was low behind a hill When he got to Lonelyville And then his wife in accents shrill Pointed out that he'd forgotten the sprinkling can, the pruning shears and the lawnmower.
