Hey, nice garden, check out those Beefsteaks and Romas!
You know, I had a back yard garden once.
Let me tell you--
Hey I heard that sigh, it gets tough leaning over as you get older, yep yep.
So as I was saying I had Bibb and Romaine, some green onions,
several towering pines and palm trees and a big old honking ailanthus.
That thing grew fifty feet one week in June!
But of course it snapped off in a storm and fell on a visiting relative
just like in The Omen with that shutter bug guy.
"Tree of Heaven" is what they call those. Yep yep.
Listen don't stop on my account, keep at it, that's the way!
I had toucans and condors up in the canopy and five varieties
of little monkeys tossing themselves and each other around,
having their little wars and parties, Land O' Goshen!
And down below in the understory, you'll never guess--
all sorts of shade-tolerant stuff popped up. Why, I had
violets, lemon weed and even Neil Diamond poked his head up.
I know, it's funny right?!? Hey don't choke, remember never overdo things!
Now, I can tell you don't believe me but I swear I almost stepped
on old Neil's noggin when he popped up! Good singer yep yep.
Sweet Caroline is a great song but he sang it all day every day.
They sing it at the ballpark, everybody does the OH OH OH part.
Still, it kinda got on my last nerve by the five-thousandth time
he sang it back behind the house, even at all hours of the night.
I got him to switch to Beautiful Noise, BUM bum Bum bum Bum!
Hey ya missed a big ol' tomato worm, what a fatso! Bold as noon!
Have I ever told ya about how I made a house out of mixing bowls?
Yep yep, I took a whole mess of ordinary bowls and---
Oh, okay, if ya gotta go ya gotta go! I'll tell ya later, yep yep.
