Best Mowing Poems

The thick numerous shoots of grass have come out,
no more snow shovels til late autumn comes about.
I hear the robins chirp as they tend their nests,
wait....the sound of a cranky lawn mower chugging
to life from its winter's rest!

Mowing down children with assault rifles
The NRA is all for it. as long as they get a profit.
Selling guns to everyone.
Lah Dah Dee Lah Dee Dah

For protection they yell. We have rights they scream.
Give us our AK’s. Give us our AK’s.
We might need to kill...

I’m mowing the lawn free and clear
Don’t have no pants on
Because it’s hot out here.
Neighbors always said I was insane
Always called me out of my name
“Well to hell with them!” is what I say.
I’m mowing the lawn free and clear today.
People always lookin’ down on...

outside cutting lawn 
neighbor's noisy mower hums 
smell of fresh-mown grass 

          dandelions bloom 
          fresh violets kiss the breeze

Spring is here and I must admit,
since the grass is green and growing,
I don't mind if the whole world knows,
I am bored with mowing.

It's back and forth, back and forth,
so tedious and slow.
The repetition's so annoying,
it's a chore I could forgo.

It's a necessary evil, 
that's...

It's not thanksgiving, but I get a turkey. 
That's what comes when there's three strikes for me. 
My average is up close to two hundred by now. 
I had to get a lot of strikes somehow. 
One day, I shall be the recipient of some...

After years here in the city with the constant traffic flow,
and the daily grind all based on work to have the coffers grow
or keep the kids in school and provide for what is middle class,
there needs to be an outlet where there is open space...

It had been a bright and sunny day,
Looking thro’ the window listlessly,
Brooding over what life is after all,
Fumbling, rambling, finding no answer.

Suddenly I heard the noise of a machine,
Saw my neighbour mowing the lawn,
In the twilight of the clear day.
He had come to America for...

It's fifty miles to the city
And fifty home again,
Around that pothole on Depot Road
Into the arms of the lane.

Old George has left his hay down.
A day or two since mowing.
Pink shadow of the Grange Hall,
Blind in sun's last glowing.

The cows are gathered to the barn,
Tail...

The limericks piled in his yard
Made mowing and maintenance hard.
The blade would get stuck
When nonsense it struck,
The handle from hyperbole jarred.
