A LITTLE BOY PUSHES HIS WHEELBARROW
ALONG A LONG GARDEN ROW,
INSIDE THE WHEELBARROW, HE HAS A TOY DUMP TRUCK
AND HIS LITTLE WOODEN HOE.

HIS LITTLE SISTER HELPS HIM PUSH IT
AS ALONG THE PLOWED GROUND THEY GO,
IN THEIR WAY THERE ARE MANY CLODS OF DIRT
THEY HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO - TRAVEL IS SLOW.

IN THE SPRING THEY LOVE TO HELP
PLANT POTATOES INTO THE GROUND,
GOING ALONG EACH HOED DITCH
PLACING CUT TATER EYES THE RIGHT WAY DOWN.

AFTER HELPING WITH THE PLANTING
THEY SIT DOWN IN THE GARDEN PATH,
DIGGING AND SCOOPING AND EMPTYING THE DIRT
THEY ARE BUSY DOING SOMETHING THEY ENJOY AT LAST.

THEY USE THIS WHEELBARROW TO CARRY
FOR YET ANOTHER REASON,
THE PUMPKINS ARE RIPE ENOUGH TO HAUL
THEY ARE READY FOR THE HALLOWEEN SEASON.

THE CHILDREN PLAY WITH THEIR WHEELBARROW
IN THE SANDBOX TO FILL WITH SAND,
ALSO IT IS PLACED INTO THE PLOWED GROUND
AS THEY DIG AND PLAY IN THE LOOSE DIRT BY HAND.

FILL A LITTLE DUMP TRUCK
WITH WET SAND, LOOSE DIRT TOO,
EMPTY INTO THAT LITTLE WHEELBARROW
CHILDREN HAVE A LOT OF WORK WHILE THEY PLAY - TO DO.

SO IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE A CHILD
PUSHING A WHEELBARROW ON ANY CERTAIN DAY,
THEY ARE USUALLY WORKING HARD
OR HAVING LOTS OF FUN WHILE THEY PLAY.

My grandchildren have always enjoyed their little plastic wheelbarrow,
using it for "work" and play. They can load it up with everything they
need and off they go...thinking up something to do that day. They love
to help in the garden. Sitting and digging in dirt is a "lovely" past-
time.
