THAT HUMMING-GRINDING
(Tune of THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS)
–
We heard that frequent grinding,
Tree choppers from Outside.
Making veggie mincemeat
Of the bushes on the side…
They were going to finish yesterday
But have still more to do,
For mulch and landfills too!
–
Oh that humming-grinding-roaring
Outside won’t let me sleep,
It’ll be agoing all day
With schedules to keep…
Our park-like grounds will open up
To sun and winter winds,
Removing all that dead wood
Is how new growth begins!
