Summer's Almost Gone

A few days ago on the last day of summer I woke up to Morison's words in my head, "Summer's almost gone...Where will we be when the summer's gone?" I looked out the window and knew where I would be; enjoying my brand new grass lawn. That's right, my landlord finally put down sod on the last day of summer. Winter may be comin' on but I have a lawn made of grass. No longer will I toil in the dirt and rock lawn that has been my only escape; now I lounge in the green flora God invented for man. The apartment kids are playing football on the grass as I type, too bad I am moving out in a week.

You'd think they would have done that sooner, no? I guess better late than never.

The last line of this post reminded me of the Far Side cartoon called "Cow Beatniks." The last line of that poem was "damn the electric fence." Just seems to fit.
