Frustration's Bouquet

Every Spring they march relentless ugly as sin and almost scentless My well-groomed lawn devastated annual ambitions again frustrated 'Cos' 'Wendell's Weed Killer' didn't work though highly touted by expert jerks At $65 a bag, the stuff wasn't cheap with joy I sowed, in tears I reaped But not to worry, I'll pick a bouquet of 'Dandy Lions' for my wife next Sunday ~ 'With Love from Brian'

Why hasn't some 12 year old compiled the figures nohow many metric tons of Pesticide we use on our lawns, golf courses, and gardens...and told us "HOW DARE YOU!!"

Why do the weeds grow better than the flowers? The weed killer is an excellent flower killer. Percy Veer, Gershon

Percy Veer. Persevere, keep trying to beat those darn weeds. It wasn't meant to be a famous person. (I don't know too many of them) lol!

Sad. This often happens. With rain, weeds abound in the lawn and no pesticide or weed killer can destroy them. Next time in tears you sow and in joy you reap ! Reautiful poem dear Gershon!
