A goal that I've considered for nearly all of my life,
One that I'll pursue once I am through with real world strife,
Is to redesign my yard with a theme that pleases me.
It will be a mythic garden that's conceived in fantasy.
In the center of the area that's shaded by the mountain,
I'll dig a fair reflecting pool and top it with a fountain.
The grounds that do surround it will be far from ordinary.
They'll be guarded most securely by my choice of statuary.
A wooden footbridge cross the pool, it will be watched, my friend,
By a matching set of gargoyles, squatting down at either end.
It's all inside my head, but there remains a single hitch.
A pagoda or gazebo? I just can't determine which.
But when at last it's finished, yes, when my labor's through,
I'll simply sit and take my ease, admiring the view.

O' faithful Canu, please send word when at last your paradise is complete, and I shall linger in your Eden of Meade & Honey, savoring the majestic panoramic vistas, melt into tranquility, mesmorized by the beauty of your wonders. psst...send by a Succubi with drinks, please.
Canu, you can do!
I'll promise a small cooling breeze for those midsummer eves.
My friends the Gnomes will visit and chance away the naughty fae friends.
All they ask is the pond be stocked with some nice fishy friends and a rod two be left for them.
You are both of you quite welcome; in fact, I rather hope that you do come visiting some day.
Very awesome. Sounds like a peaceful place.
If Barak is there I'd suggest you request the presence of either one of his Favorite Succubi. As for myself, I would be more then happy to bring you drinks, Canu and be a lap blanket against the chill!

I've such a garden in my home, and tis quite pleasing to sit by in the evening. The work of keeping it clean from leaves and such is far less the the enjoyment I get from my pond. There is a lovers seat, where My Husband and I can cuddle as we watch the fish swim lazily about.
