Grass Thru the Hourglass - Nursery Rhyme

Some grass is short, some grass is long Some grass can bend with the breeze. Some grass is soft, some grass is wet And in winter, hard from the freeze. Morning’s dew, like diamonds strewn, Night’s dew, a blanket of stars. Of parks, of pastures, of rolling planes I prefer these thoughts by far. The cow, the robin, the lamb agree, And I’m thankful on my way. To smell the grass, to make time pass More slowly through my day. Created – 3/29/21 Submitted: Eve Roper's Nursery Rhyme 3 Contest Award: Shared 2nd Place. 4/5/21

Congrats on your win, Ken! Hope that the grass you smell during the day is green! (Here in Illinois, cannabis sales are soaring. You can now major in the subject at community colleges around Chicago). :) gw

I imagine I could indeed do a weed version. Here in Oregon we paved the way for y'all.
