chard

Leaves of grass or leaves of chard,
both are growing in my yard.
Though they do not get much sun,
I am having lots of fun.

Up to now I have to buy
chard from Tony, lettuce guy,
at the market Saturdays --
(Get up early, do not laze).

Rainbow chard we had tonight,
wondrous olive-oily bites,
Garlic, onions, wonder food,
salty, savory, stinky stewed.

But I want to grow my own
in my little seven zone:
independence, that's true riches...
(oops, it's time to do the dishes)!
