'daunting dandelions
marauding moles
bothersome bugs
spotty sprinklers
crank crabgrass
tenacious termites'
I read it in the Atkins ad
'one call cures them all'
(after all, poetry is where you find it,
and I found the ad on PoemHunter)
so I looked up Atkins
and found out it's a lo-carb diet:
don't feed dandelions
bread and potatoes,
moles should be steered clear
of legumes and sweet beets
keep bugs away from
chocolate and fruit juice
spotty sprinklers might get clogged
with milk shakes and potato soup
don't let crabgrass grab onto
spaghetti and yogurt
avoid feeding termites
corn and white rice.
Keep guard
on your yard:
count the carbs!
Try rhubarb.
