Homage to my mower

Posted on 5/18/2012 by

She's loud,
she's raucous,
and she's got a wicked edge on her.
She can cough like a smoker and guzzle with the best of them,
but when those wheelies hit the sod,
it's all lawn poetry to me.


: : :


Forgive me,  for I have sinned and broken my promise ("not another garden tool!")...
the silliness of it all was too hard to resist....

    Few people would write an 'ode' to their mower -- this must mean yours is very special! *smile*

      I like my vacuum, too, but he's not near as vah-roooooom as the mower.

      What's that famous phrase...."a man is only as good as his tools"...?
      Why not, indeed!

    I think it's lovely. Tools and basic objects make life as we know it possible - they deserve our respect and honour, and yes, a nice ode or homage now and then...
    Also thank you for introducing '10-line Tuesday' recently - I am in bloglove.

      Thanks Sweetpea! Yes I am loving my blog... and yes I think I'll be around for a while as I already have at least a year's worth of ideas planned in my head. It's so excting...
      Actually, I'm often around these parts - I do read all your posts - I'm just not much of a Commenter.

      I wondered if I'd gone off the deep end, then I thought, so what.
