Garden Envy

(Observations in haiku)

My wife envies this
Your new garden lush & green
She'll tell me, not you

My wife slanders you
She claims you use pesticides,
Toxic chemicals

See your berry bush!
Ripe berries in your front yard!
Urban foraging!

My wife built raised beds
To thwart the slugs; now she finds
Paw prints in the soil

Is it wrong to try
To make friends with the neighbors
Whose gardens are great?

The neighbor's caught on!
She smiles at our poor garden
"Better luck next year!"
