I Kid You Not! Poem by Denis Martindale

I wonder, should I get a goat?
I hate to mow the lawn!
Yet that could be the antidote...
Though some meet that with scorn...
It's not their lawns I care about...
It's mine and mine alone...
It makes me scream! It makes me shout!
It often makes me moan...
But goats are known to poop a lot...
And that would never do!
I guess I'll stay with what I've got...
A lawnmower, just like you!
