The Garden Doesn't Care!

by Karen Patterson

The garden doesn't care
If I stumble 
Mumble or 
Drool.

The garden doesn't care
If I have to use
A walker or
A stool.

Or if sometimes
I drop a tool. 

Or if sometimes I just
Need to stare

At all of life 
Growing 
Here and there.

Are you a flibbity ibbity gibit?
Or a fumbling bumble?

Do you have a tendency to stumble?
And at times frustratedly mumble?

Or do you have hands that jumble
And sometimes fumble? 

Improv helps us roll with such tumbles,
A light-hearted reminder to try to stay humble. 
 
And not give in to grumpy mumbling bumbles.
