Most of the tasks that our homes have us do
Seem to me fairly consistent;
Cutting the grass, though, is one that, I vow
Could be, for me, non-existent.
Mowing the lawn in itself’s none so bad
(Can’t say I really ENJOY it)
But, feed we the grass so the darn stuff’ll GROW:
Then, on the morrow, DESTROY IT!
Plant it, and feed it, and then whack it off:
Trouble that really is sowin’–
Give me a lawn paved with ROCKS, so I can
Love it and leave it ALOWAN!
