The grass looks greener over the fence,
it's hard not to notice.
Annie's seen him out there mowing
and unloading the groceries for his wife.
After a long day's work last week
Jimmy was relaxing before dinner.
Annie reminded him how much better
their neighbors yard looked. Jimmy loved that.
Maybe he had already noticed,
when the neighbor's wife brought over the cookies,
not burnt, like Annie's yesterday.
They can't see/hear through the fence/walls;
the crabgrass of contempt,
the fairy rings of fatigue,
or the gopher hills of grumbling.
Those destructive, yard killing weeds can't be ignored,
or they will spread to the neighbors.
Yard clean up
