Portrait of Esther and Mike

Started writing: 1996 Finished writing: March 2012 Note: Inspired by my friend Mike There once was a woman named Esther Whose feelings were known to quite fester Unless her lawn-mowing guy Cut her lawn down to size So her lawn and spirit were not mess-ters. As long as Mike was her lawn-mowing man, Sweet Esther was his biggest fan. But once Mike could not mow Her lawn and dismay did grow Cutting down her lawn-mowing plan. Some say that her lawn grew so high That her lawn grew right over the sky. Grew over airplanes that zoomed, Birds, and hot air balloons, 'Til the man in the moon was green-eyed! Note: Part of the Portrait Collection
