Weed Whacker

A line trimmer doesn’t really eat; That’s a trick that would be quite neat. Instead, it tends to aerosolize, Throw grass in your nose and rocks in your eyes. Turns poison ivy to a fine mist; I know you think I’m a fantasist. The next event: the shower dash Or you will break out in a rash. Correctly named, it sure does whack And aggravate my lower back.

This account of your travails is hilarious, Jeff... My own 'weed-whacking' days are lawn gone, I'm happy to say. :)

Clever and hilarious. I've never become acquainted with a "line trimmer" and now I think I know why.
