Gloving it
Yard work yard work
hand in glove with hard work
grass is growing needs a mowing
weeds shoot higher, reaching skyward
those pine needles just keep stackin’
means my rakin’ best get crackin’
zinnias all need fertilizing
so their blooms can start their rising
patio could use a washing
brushing, splashing, bubbles sloshing
bird bath needs a thorough stripping
don’t want any blue jays tripping
soon must trim my roses back
while keeping thorns from their attack
old trellis needs a good restaining
‘cuz next week it might start raining
maybe I’ll create a pathway
placing pavers under archways
rocks we’ve hauled from many Jeep runs
need arranging under hot suns
I’ll gloss them up to make them shine
and place so their best sides align
outside chores seem never-ending
why my back is always bending
the sweat keeps dribbling down my neck
oh yeah I’m looking like a wreck
yard work yard work—always need to glove it
yard work hard work—MAN, how much I love it!
