The Lawn

The voluntary gardeners Placed signs along the fence Announcing that they’d given up, Despite their best intents. “We can’t maintain this lawn because, Though signage says No Pets, The owners let their dogs run wild, Displaying no regrets.” Perhaps these words have hit the mark As those in charge have dealt A reprimand that’s harsh enough For guilt to have been felt. For lately, there have not been any Pets upon that lawn, Though it may be too late for any Grass to grow upon.
