Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

Lawnmowing

Spring has sprung
The lawns gone nuts
Mowing time again 
No ifs or buts 
 
A martyred sigh
Trudge to shed
Drag out mower
Filled with dread

Attempt to start 
Psyche self up 
Try many times 
Any luck? .... Nup

Give up the fight 
Drag back to shed 
Watch the lawn 
Grow long instead 

Ignore complaints 
From near and dear 
Enjoy the daisies
Mow next year

Les Pick January 3, 2024 at 4:20 AM Well said Julie we love the rain but so does the grass. Julie Draper January 3, 2024 at 8:21 PM Yep that's true! Thanks for stopping by Les :)

Kim Rodrigues January 2, 2024 at 8:03 PM Why does a mower have to be hard to start…lol! Julie Draper January 2, 2024 at 8:49 PM Contrary contraptions aren't they! :)
