Vanity Poem by Smoky Hoss

Vanity

Rating: 5.0


cut the grass
mow, mow -
stop natures advance
mow, mow -
mark your claim
mow, mow -
your personal domain
mow, mow -
vanities foolish fare
mow, mow -
worthless worldly care
mow, mow -
when you're gone
mow, mow -
the grass grows long.
no mow, no more -

Funny, Smoky! I don't cut my grass anymore, but I do pay someone to cut it for me. He needs the money for college. No mow, no mo'.

And another day we do it again…till one day our life will end. Go mow, mow Smoky. Phyllis

vanities foolish fare mow, mow - worthless worldly care mow, mow - when you're gone mow, mow - the grass grows long. no mow, no more - Amazing that it is such an annoying problem for all. But we can only do our best to manage while we're here and just keep on mowing. Thanks Smoky for this truly interesting and enjoyable write.

The lowly grass. Unconquered by man. Sets you to thinking. Which is the higher life form.
