Ware and Piece – A Backyard Epic

 
 
The lawn’s appearance has become a spectacle
The hedges have evolved many an unsightly tentacle
The black locust trees need their defunct limbs removed
The dandelion’s yellow flowers must be disproved
The fence lines are stained in colors of moss and algae
The gutters are filled with debris and so it be...
 
That weekend warriors must arm once again.
Let power tools surface from their proper keep
Rip those chords and let the roar of mighty engines begin
Their right angle trimmings;
their symmetrical cuttings;
their sculpted hedging;
their magic-wand power washing.
 
I love the smell of two-cycle engine oil in the morning!
 
The conquest is real – let the beer flow and the grilling reap
Garlic roasted tomatoes, marinated asparagus and big steaks that leap!
