I Am Bored With Mowing

Spring is here and I must admit,
since the grass is green and growing,
I don't mind if the whole world knows,
I am bored with mowing.

It's back and forth, back and forth,
so tedious and slow.
The repetition's so annoying,
it's a chore I could forgo.

It's a necessary evil, 
that's a fact, I know.
Mowing is something I can't ignore,
'cause that grass is gonna grow.

I'll bring out that noisy mower
and get the engine going.
I'll "enjoy" the great monotony,
'cause I am bored with mowing!

Hmmm, Ralph, people complain so much about shoveling snow. Now that spring has sprung, they'll have something else to capture their energy. LOL Funny poem and I wish you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
