Well I took the plunge!
I had been saying for weeks,
It may even have been months,
That I would do it tomorrow,
Well yesterday that tomorrow came.
I went into the shed and searched
Searched for the lawnmower.
I found it sitting there
Covered in cobwebs and dust,
I dragged it out into the light,
I am sure it looked at me
With a puzzled expression
As if to say “What are you doing?”
Well I set it up and pressed the button,
And blow me it started.
So there I was on this tomorrow
Mowing the grass.
The neighbours didn’t believe it!
Neither did I!
I did finish the mowing and was pleased,
But then I went and had to lay down,
Lay down in a darkened room!

Good write Gold. lol.
Thanks Orchi.
Dark room to rest , to hide giving in?
To recover from the thoughts of mowing the lawn. LOL

The joy of getting the mowing done is sublime!
It has its feelings cb.

With a bit of music no doubt. I used to hate mowing. Mine was a lot of uphill/downhill. Amazed by the first- pull start. Here's wishing you a green lawn. Don't overdo it. - Phil A.
Thank you Phil, I hope not to overdo it.

'I am sure it looked at me
With a puzzled expression'
lol
love this! slice of life realism, Andy
'that same Spring, revisits
one more
and that youthful verve, we harbour
jumps into life, again
till our limited adrenalin, is exhausted
then that quite room, and a little nap
is all the energetic Spring
we'll ever, need
for the next hour or ten...
lol)
Thank you Mek, that little nap is so important in our lives nowadays. LOL
