I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley,
with a tail for doing jobs of every kind,
but I mustn't treat it roughly or too harshly,
for it's such a useful thing to have behind.
I'm a rather fat feathery owl called Sage,
I'm not at all happy in fact in a rage,
it's bad enough having ones home all upset,
but to make matters worse all my feathers are wet.
I am Sir Basil the King of the herbs,
and I'm very often in trouble,
I'm not very good at sorting things out and
often get in a muddle.
My name is Lady Rosemary,
you will find you cannot fool me.
I have eyes both sharp and quick,
to help me see through every trick.
I'm Bayleaf, I'm the gardener,
I work from early dawn,
you'll find me sweeping up the leaves and
tidying the lawn
I am Constable Knapweed
and I keep law and order,
I watch to see that all is well
along the garden border.
I'm Dill the dog,
I'm a dog called Dill.
I'm rather small and furry
and often in a hurry...
I'm Dill the dog
I'm a dog called Dill
though my tail I'd love to get
I've never caught it yet
Belladonna is my name,
I'm the deadly nightshade flower
I shall never be content till
all the herbs are in my power.
I am Pashana Bedi,
very good at snake charming,
snakes that have by me been charmed
will not anyone be harming.
I'm Tarragon the Dragon
I'd better make it clear,
that nothing's safe when I'm about
things seem to disappear
Because there are so many chives,
all looking like each other
it makes it even hard to tell
the difference between a sister and a brother.
My name is Aunty Mint,
if you should see me sitting,
don't think I'm doing nothing,
for I'm busy with my knitting.
I'm a very neat herb and my name is Miss Jessop
I like everything tidy and all just in place
but all of the other herbs make such a mess up
the state of the garden is a dreadful disgrace.
