Lawn Mower Man
The lawnmower man came my way today
And took my good old friend away
A '98 Murray Classic
That thing was old; damned near Jurassic.
Yet, she was a dear friend. Loved her with all my might
Lawnmower man took her in broad daylight
I'll not let it cause me spite
The master's good and it's alright
Life is funny in so many ways
We have great nights, sometimes bad days
I pray however, he does not visit again
Against the grim reaper, he shall not win
Upon his return, he will surely die
Sliced, dissected, cremated, crushed, sharpened sickle passing through his dying eye
As final thoughts pass through his rapidly fading mind
I have crossed the "lawnmower man" ......for the very last time.

I left my home this morning to get a part for one of my rider mowers. Across the street from me, they were having a gathering. Around me, others were doing yard work. I left the puch mower sitting in the garage, door open. I live in a very good neighborhood (I thought) Wasn't gone 10 minutes and no one saw anything. Had things stolen before but it never gets easier.....yes this was a vent but deeper than that. It's about being violated and the danger of violating the "mentally unstable". Typical affliction of
most creative people. LOL Tonight I think I will sit in the open garage in the dark with a very large caliber automatic, and a fishing knife. Yummy......; ) Need some caption music. will it be BLue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear The Reaper" or Miles Davis "Bitches Brew".......Hmmmmmmmm

....from one musician to another. Thank you very much. Quite different than a lot of my work posted here but definitely closer to the intimacies and intricacies which comprise me. : )
