Turf Grass Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

Turf grass stops erosion, with it's root system,
holding the soil together, can live through all kinds of abuse,
still surviving, all the changes, of our seasonable weather.

Turf makes a great surface, for all kinds of sporting games,
a safe place for children to play, food for some animals,
A soft surface, for them to rest each day.

So many types, and varieties, depending on your use,
and the soil, of your land, grass spreads from sod, plugs,
and stolen, or just grab some seed, throw it with your hand.

Along highways, turf grass takes those bad emissions, out of the air,
produces oxygen, to support life on earth, then releases it,
all around, with so much care.

Turf grass, needs maintenance, mowing, chemicals, and fertilizer,
you can spread with a cart, when using any chemicals,
always read the label first, follow the directions,
protect yourself, that's just being smart.

Do not forget to water, during the summer,
those hot, dry, sunny days, in return, for all the proper care,
you will receive, years of beauty, and comfort, in so many ways.
