What think you of a sonnet about mowing the lawn at 7 a.m.?

Question

Hoping that neighbor don't start his mower

At seven a.m. Cause if he starts it...

Grass gonna fly, his shirt, shoes, and his cap.

But, I'm a peaceful sort, with a good heart...

Damned fool just cranked it up. Now I got to

Flatten all four tires...my car's tires, of course!

Then sashay over to his idiot

Self...bat my lashes, sweetly ask for help...

Which I don't need, cause my brothers taught me

Everything about tires and fixing...

But HE don't know that, and I ain't tellin...

Cause, long about eleven a...d**n...m,

He will be through inflating all four tires,

And it will be too hot to mow his lawn.

--------------------------------------...

(He has to do it with a bicycle pump!)

Answer 1

Well done on a Saturday morning.

Answer 2

Any guy who mows his lawn at 7 a.m.

Has gone to bed the night before long before 10.00

I got my revenge by mowing my lawn in the dark

It made every dog in the neighbourhood bark.

I continued till he came and screamed out his door

I said"How do you like it buddy?",now he does it no more.

The next day I received cookies, pies and home made bread

From thankful neighbours,who like to sleep later in bed.

Answer 3

WoW... That's good !!! Yes the sonnet....Also

your DEVIOUSNESS!!!,,,,

Answer 4

Brilliant -- the metre here is so fluent, which I love.  I prefer this poem quite a bit to the rain sonnet, partly for that reason.

Answer 5

Now, this is worthy of a good laugh and that is just what I am doing now!  Ingenuity and bicycle pumps...long they live!  Good one here!

Answer 6

Don't let suburbia disturb ya :)

It's not just words you manipulate well I see.

Careful not to over inflate his ego.

Answer 7

I'll have to try the bat the eyelash routine...the usual threats of mayhem don't work so well.  Thanks for the tip and the Sonnet is wonderful!

Answer 8

LOL!

Answer 9

I think there should be a law against people doing such things so eary in the morning.

Answer 10

That's cute!

Answer 11

Brings to mind "Samuel Clemens..."

Clever...I liked it...

Answer 12

My neighbors have started a building project. I don't think there will be any late mornings for awhile.

Answer 13

Reminds me of my neighbor using a jackhammer all day on his patio, starting at about the same time of day, and using it all day long!

Answer 14

A wonderfully funny modern sonnet. I'm reading it from that Round Table I just wrote about and spilling my fourth cup of coffee.
