Rude Becky, standing tall and proud, to guard my garden gate,
You can relax, I come in peace, I wish you no ill fate.
What’s that? You now demand a search for items on your list?
No knives, no scissors, nothing sharp – okay, I get the gist.
Stand down, my friend, you can relax. Â You see? Â I’ll go away.
(I’ll come back when you are asleep – I need a fresh bouquet!)

My vigilant garden patrol, Rudbeckia, making sure I leave my cutting shears outside the perimeter!

What are your thoughts?
