'Secret Garden Party' by Kayla Rose Weiss (7th grade - Indiana Jr High School - 2000) 12 year old Lizzy McGillicuddy had a garden A vegetable garden to be exact One with plump red tomatoes Peppers both hot and sweet alike There were cucumbers and peas, Broccoli and corn And let us not forget the magnificent sunflowers that stood there towering over the garden And their smiling, bright, cheerful faces spreading joy to one and all. One brisk autumn morning Lizzy sat outside and was observing her garden She saw creatures of all kinds beginning to invade her garden It was then that she realized with a smile That if you want a party Plant a garden, and the guests will invite themselves.
