Mowin’ Rag
Virginia Salter

Gotta mow, gotta mow,
gotta mow, mow, mow
gotta cut them green blades down!

Gotta feed and water
all ‘round the yard
gotta pretty up my piece of town!

Wouldja like to come along with me
pushing, pulling to your heart’s content
keeping the green from brown?

We could have a ball
a real yard-care crawl
earning feathers for our crown.

Oh come along friend
it’s the livin’ end
dancin’ to the mowin’ rag

Up and down,
back and forth,
promise won’t be a drag.

You and me
and the bumble bee
buzzing the creatures and weeds.

Then giving a drink
to the green and pink
as we water and gently feed.

VAS, I'll bet all of those under snow would love to be helping 'ya. It sounds like fun, but I would rather be sitting in a chair with a nice cool drink. I am a watcher not a mower, Sorry. I like this though, ME
