I have been looking at the trees a lot recently. Quite extraordinary how beautiful autumn is, once you get over the dark, the cold and the fireworks party hangovers. It made me think of that well known (and thankfully out of copyright) poem, ‘Tree’ by Joyce Kilmer. Lovely
“Trees”
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Isn’t it gorgeous? But for me (and my hard pressed editor for this week, Drew) it doesn’t go into enough detail about falling leaves and the mess they can make. So of course, I couldn’t resist having a go at a ‘MowDirect’ version myself…
“Leaves”
I thought that I would never see
Quite this much mess, made by a tree.
A tree that’s cast its leaves around
A real slip hazard on the ground.
A tree that spreads them on the lawn
So all the nutrients have gone.
So I must click on MowDirect
Before my lawn is truly wrecked.
And when I’m there I’ll have to grab
This sweeper, made by Agri-Fab.
I think that I shall never see
Quite such a bargain, happy me!
Clik here to view.
“Ooo-eee, Chirpy Chirpy Sweep Sweep”
Job done I’d say. The Agri-Fab 26″ Push Lawn & Leaf Sweeper, our price only £139.00… £40 below the RRP. This leaf grabbing baby really is gathering fans. …. Here’s what some happy customers have said on our site… “the sweeper does an excellent job” and “it makes light work of clearing leaves and debris from lawn… easy to push and empty. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.” also, “a delight to use. It feels almost therapeutic...” and finally, “…a godsend for the autumn clean up. Well Recommended.”
