My Brown Lawn

When God doesn't send rain directly to my brown lawn, the lawn looks to me Whether he knows it or not, I am one one God's earthly watering instruments I am one of many of God's creatures employed at the water department I water all my flowers, some of the grass, and I never forget my plum tree Water doesn't come cheap, and we have government policies about water It's a serious matter, and one never sees that liquid gold wasted or misused Certain hours, I can only water three days a week, and that's the water rule Being conservative in doing our part is the thing that really matters My investigation found that the high cost of water is due to delivery systems One small fee for water with a huge price being paid for installing water meters Water, not money, can be saved with 2-minute showers from hot water heaters My roses have color, my tomatoes do okay, but a brown lawn is just 'a given' 09072018PoSoupContest, Enclosed Rhyme, Dear Heart; Three verses, 4 lines each
