MOW THAT LAWN!

It’s time for you to mow the lawn,
The dogs are getting lost.
You’ve got to go and buy the gas,
No matter what the cost.
I know the price of oil is high,
But, really, understand.
The neighbors think that we have moved
And want to buy the land.
You’ve got to mow the lawn today.
I know. It’s really hot!
But the guy next door thought he saw a deer,
And the greyhound almost got shot.
The station on the corner has
The cheapest gas, by far.
You can fill the can with gasoline
When you fill up the car.
The cats are crouching in the weeds
And they’re jumping out at us.
If you will mow the lawn right now
There will be no more fuss.
The pups are afraid to go out at night,
Afraid to go through the door.
Next thing you know it won’t be grass.
You’ll be mopping up the floor.
Come on, now, please go get it done.
Just get yourself in gear!
What? You have an ear infection,
And you really didn’t hear?
OK. Then you take the baby,
And you can clean up his mess.
When I’m done mowing then I’ll go out
And buy that lovely dress.
What’s that you say? You’re feeling fine?
My pleading now you hear?
Yes, I do believe in miracles.
Now, go mow the lawn, my Dear!
