Notes About The Poem

I wrote this for my neighbors, who I totally adore.  They are two brilliant and capable, young women who I play with about being too pretty for chores.  I am truly blessed with Angels!

 

Lawn Mowers and Lesbians

I live next door to angels
One day they fluttered in
But not just any angels
These ones play and drink and sin
 
Not sure they know they're angels
Since one day it came to pass
I heard some cursing angels
Whilst they tried to mow their grass
 
Quite impressive when in action
Think they thought that they were smart
Built a Lawn-mowing contraption
Without instructions, part-by-part
 
Carefully attached the fixtures
Every bolt and nut and screw
When it didn't quite match the picture
They didn't know what they should do!
 
Today I woke to fumbling
And noise as I arose
I could hear two lesbians mumbling
While playing with a hose
 
Sorry my dear roses
I do not mean to scold
But lesbians don't do hoses
Or know how lawn mowers unfold
 
So please do heed this ditty
I'm not trying to be a jerk
It's just that you're too pretty
For all that kind of work
 
So take it easy, find a seat
And I think that you'll agree
It's time to rest your painted feet
With a lovely cup of tea :-)
