take it in chapters

Got some annuals 

And some color. 

There been sitting in a 

Plastic pot for weeks. 

A few more days won’t hurt them. 

I have to take things in chapters

Because I just don’t have the stamina. 

I have to make little rests. 

But I can commit to an hour 

Of work at a time. 

Then some rest. 

Or even one task 

And then some rest. 

I am not sure where my 

Stamina went off to. 

Maybe because I’m 60 

And it’s hot outside. 

And gardening is physical work. 

Also, I’m out of shape AF. 

All these hours 

Mostly sitting. 

You’ve heard of Dad Bod?

I have Nurse Bod.
