She steps out of the limousine
The story behind the poem

I was inspired to write this poem by material on the theme of limousines. I thought: would I like to be one of those people who travels regularly in a limousine, looking glamorous? And then I thought: no, I wouldn't.

It led me to wonder if someone with such a lifestyle might not perhaps prefer to be doing something else: in this case poddling about in muddy boots with equally muddy dogs, planting something with their bare hands in the soil.
