Grass Snips Were Meant to Fly

"Man With Scythe" by Walter Hunt. Until the rain stops, my yard will be life imitating art.
Mrs. LFM was dancing to Starships by Nicki Minaj while preparing donair eggrolls for lunch in our kitchen this afternoon. It’s warm and raining today, and in those rare moments when I could tear my eyes away from her to glance out the kitchen window, I could actually see the plant life getting taller before my eyes. The scythe must sing again soon!
And on that score, as I listened to the song, this fragment of alternate lyrics came to mind. Here they are, with my sincere apologies to Ms. Minaj …
Keepin’ the skeeters off my head –
My ol’ hat!
My yard is gettin’ overgrown,
I’ll mow dat.
Scythe blades were meant to fly!
Tall grass blocks out the sky!
Leave felled weeds where they lie!
Then home to eat some pie!
Grass higher than a muthahfuckah …
Now dats what we call da blues!!!!!!!
