Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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'

John Lawless May 7, 2023 at 5:03 AM 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!!" Gershon Wolf May 7, 2023 at 5:44 PM Only because Erica Thornburg's sister is 14 already. lol. Let's have AOC do it. She's about 12 by how, isn't she?!

Shirley Hawkins May 7, 2023 at 12:00 AM Why do the weeds grow better than the flowers? The weed killer is an excellent flower killer. Percy Veer, Gershon Shirley Hawkins May 7, 2023 at 6:15 PM 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! Gershon Wolf May 7, 2023 at 5:44 PM Hmm. Percy Veer is a new one on me. ~ Stumped

Valsa George May 6, 2023 at 10:49 PM 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! Gershon Wolf May 7, 2023 at 5:45 PM Hope so. This time I was the 'Grim Reaper.' lol.
