Third prize.

My big third prize leek,
Here at the Spring Flower Show,
Size was not enough.


I have been nurturing and looking after a group  of leeks in my garden for some time now. My wife has been wanting to cook them for about 2 months but I said I had to keep them for the Spring Show as I wanted to get the prize of champion leek. I should have listened to Mrs G. Although of a very impressive size  they were well past their best and I had to settle for third prize. However I will have words to say to the judge when I next see him in our little town. I will be back with a vengeance next year.....
