Mowing the lawn...
...again.
The lawns growth being
as-if a never-ending, uphill struggle...
The story of my life.
Hill after hill after hill.
"My Son" as performed by
THE BY-PRODUCTS OF AMERICA
Is up on the player...
Thru the headphones...
For me…
At me…
With me…
This, despite the fact
That I am far from my goal
of completing the mowing job...
This song is the reason
why.
... It’s a damn good song.
... Quite possibly the best song ever!
I said
Possibly.
Ever...
The song inspires action.
The song demands action.
The song brings action...
A different style of action...
As I sing-a-long to the jam
I turn the mower in mid-job
With half of the yard still needing mown
and bring it to rest in the barn
where it normally sits when not in use.
Still singing a long,
I turn off the mower
And leave the remainder of the yard
for some other time.
Some other song.
