Hula Skirts Out In My Yard ~*Marge Tindal*~  Days of slumber and sweet regret, of not finishing projects I've managed to forget. Grass so green I could scarce believe, Mother Nature has more beauty up her sleeve. She grows it T A L L right in my path. It demands that I mow and take a sweat bath. The facts are certain and shall remain, I grow it and I mow it and it grows back again. Seems to me that we could invent a grass that lays down when the day is spent. But, no not us, we just have to be the biggest and the best with the most longevity. Should I let it grow tall, or mow it and send it in to the factory that makes hula skirts waving on hips in the wind? ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

This is delightful, Marge!! Maybe you could do like I did.....I had it removed and had a patio built!!! No more mowing for me!! I did reserve a foot and a half on each side of the yard though for planting! Again, great poem, Marge! Denise |

Thanks for the suggestion ! LOL ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hey, Marge, if you'll invite me up I'll tell you what I'll do I'll spend the day out in your yard For just one sight of you. And while I'm passing those long hours For one small chance to gaze At your great figure passing by I promise I will graze! |

Balladeer~ Truly, truly, truly laughing out loud ! Oh, merci ! Sure I'll gladly invite you up and grazing you can go. I'll serve you cold lemonade to keep you on the go ! As I pass by in 'nekkid' array, baking in the sun ... I don't want to see you drooling until your chores are done ! But, oh when you are through and it's time for you to get paid ... I can't promise anything better than ...(better not go there !) Ummm ! Another glass of lemonade? Maybe I better take Denise's proposal ... it's a little more CONCRETE ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Sounds like the grass grows nice and green on your side of the street. I bet it looks beautiful to all those that by. |

Nurse C~ It's nice and green alright ! And LOTS OF IT ! The problem is ... the passerby's do just that ! I think I'll have to come up with a creative John Deere tractor race ! Hey! Now there's an idea I could live with. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, If you pass by in THAT array, There's something you should know... I'll eat the grass and dirt and rocks And worms that move too slow! Then, when folks chance to ask of me, With glimmer in your eye, You'll say, "Oh, yeah, I knew him well. That man was one turf guy!" |

Balladeer~ < !signature-->A 'turf' of a guy that's what he was alright. I saw him across the field when the sun lost it's light. He ate the whole darned yard and everything that moved drew harm ... Perhaps you'd like to borrow him to cultivate your farm. I can recommend him, he was the very best ... but he can't handle 'nekkid' and that's my mode of dress ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 03-05-2000).] |

Just dawned on me I would have my own Balla-Deere ! (lame, but, can't blame a gal for trying.) ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Balla-Deere~ When the neighbors start complaining about the grass up to the sky, I'm just gonna tell them Balla-Deere will be by. Upon these grasses he'll glady graze ... if it happens to be a sunshiny day ! Take it all off and let it show. The more you sow, the more you grow, the more you mow. LOL! at you ! You just tickle my fancy. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

This is appalling! Another situation for that Balladeer to get 'nekkid'! Marge(y) - what are you doing? What are you unleashing??! (Running to cover my sensitive eyes...) Wonderful idea btw... K'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |
