Lawn Care

It's a funny shibboleth
Green, consistent, trim
Membership card will be issued
If at the end of August
There's no dead spots

Gas, blades
Seeds, spades
Marshes, poison
Pairing the dishes
Neighborly wishes

Comparable, neatly
Better and worse
Your value, your home
An insurer's thirst
Slake, slake, water

Evidence, you belong
Is this yours?
Well, done
Or medium, rarely
Don't step on it

The carpeting, an inside job
Stealing the keys
Starting the engine
Respect! Nobility!
Premium mediocre grace
