inspired by weather and irritated neighbors Virginia Salter the night is cool breezes blow hard there’s weeds in the garden and cats in the yard the neighbor’s debris is coming to lie upon my green lawn instead of going by but then it’s fair play with this fine neighborhood for my weeds that were pulled have flown east for good however there’s more from whence they came though working and slaving they just won’t be tamed suffice it to say though neighbors more east do not liike what they find in the weeds from this beast I’m doing my best to make me weed free wish they’d do their best in being happy for me can I help if the wind has more power than I and the weeds I’ve unhinged have learned how to fly? © June 1, 2001 |

Aw now Virginia won't you go next door and take them a cake or something. I know you can't help the wind but what about your weeds on their property....or the other thing you could do is call WEED BUSTERS but you'd have to be the one that pays... I'm just kiddin...I got a chuckle out of this piece and I like the way you presented it.. Have a nice weed free day......I don't mean the kind you smoke that's a personal thing, I mean the ones ya pull! |

Ahhhhhh soulbrother, weeds do take over our life in spring, don't they.... They just don't know their place, very persistant they are... But then...if you look at them carefully, there's such beauty in them too. Beautiful written Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

heh heh heh, Thanks, ethome, but to have a real 'weed-free-day' I'd have to leave town and stay in an inner city hotel I think. ;o}, well the pull-up kind, anyway. At least they're the only weeds I do do, though I wish I didn't do them either. I don't know, maybe I need to go into their yards and pick up all my weeds, at least they're only irritated, not mad or angry at me. Every now and then I think I should sell my house, but I am not financially solvent to having to start paying rent or house payment for very long. I need a 'real' job, boo hoo hoo hoo OOOPs, sorry, there I went 'a total contrast to the light-hearted pieces I wrote today. |

Yeah, Titia, I can see lots of beauty in wild-flowers and grasses...out in the country, but people sure don't like 'em growing in my park way along the street. They all have lots of suggestions, but they won't do it for me, not that they should, but that might be a way to get it done! You'd think they'd be happy I finally pulled them. Could they be afraid that they're going to crop in their yards, since I 'let' the wind carry them there. Duh, do ya think? btw, Titia, I love the photo you've included, it puts weeds/wildflowers in grand perspective!! [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 06-02-2001).] |
