(If "Hello, Moon" could be called sublime, then this is ridiculous,

but still fun, I hope.)

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.

Well this is a creative look at a very mundane summertime chore. Very cute and exuberant with great flow and rhyme~

I like this! I once had a summer party, and the guys wanted to play football, but my back yard was a little overgrown...so they all broke out the lawnmower and took turns! (Big back yard.)

Hehe, leave it to you to make the mundane fun!

I'd mow the lawn with you any day!

Thanks Shannon for sharing such a wonderful even and Smitten...come on down!!!! I usually mow on Thursdays these days but am quite flexible.

If I get the job for which I'm interviewing tomorrow, then it will be Saturdays, probably.

Heh heh, wouldn't want you to miss out.
