[LM_NET] HIT --> Poem or Short Story

[Karen McCalla <kmccalla@RSSU.ORG>]

Hello again,

My original question asked for a poem or short story with a title
similar to the Family Garden that listed virtues/qualities.  I believe
we've found some similar examples and the teacher is quite happy. 
Several people e-mailed recommendations to talk to the minister at
church (where she heard the poem).  She had already done so and still
needed more info.  Below is the one example sent that was closest to
what she remembers.  Thanks everyone for your help!!!  We made her
day!!!

Would this be it?  
It's called Plant your garden.

Plant your garden today
First, plant 3 rows of peas; 
Patience 
Promptness 
Prayer 
Next, plant 3 rows of squash; 
Squash gossip 
Squash indifference 
Squash criticism 
Then, plant 3 rows of lettuce; 
Let us be Loyal 
Let us be true to our Obligations 
Let us be unselfish 
Finish, with 4 rows of turnip; 
Turn up when Needed 
Turn up with a Smile 
Turn up with a Vision 
Turn up with Determination

Thanks again!  LM_NET Rules!!!!!
