(This is about yardwork we did when Gabe and I visited Andy in Malmo,
Sweden.)


    The Weeds: A Mini-Epic

  Andy, Gabe, and Marc had harbored hefty heaves.
  So they did embark to rid the yard of leaves.
  Of men of Malmo town, indeed amongst all Swedes,
  Andy's most renown for decimating weeds.

  Gabe, who was most feared by plantlife big and small,
  had hordes of hedges sheared, and vowed to bag them all.
  A Colorado gulch, is from where Marc comes,
  this mensch moved mishmashed mulch, made of mismatched mums.

  Bags were brought which bound the weedage in their sides.
  But these bags were found to have too thin of hides.
  A wagon (which was needed to bear the bags that held
  the refuse which was weeded) was by a "bil" propelled.

  To wagon car was hitched without a hitch or snags,
  Into it they pitched those big and bulky bags.
  The heavy load was dragged, by this "trac-torr" to the dump.
  The weeds that they had bagged were thrown into a clump.

  Now did it appear that they fulfilled their quest,
  since the yard was clear, and weeds were laid to rest.
  I've not seen such bravery, or heroic deeds,
  as when Andy "Oak-Valley" hauled those heavy weeds.
