KEEP OFF THE GRASS!

words Philip Evans

His steps were methodical and smooth  

Much like his life, he mused.  

The gravel crunched underfoot,  

Pleasingly.  

 

The warning gave him reason to pause  

Much like arthritis, he thought.  

The sign grated his morality,  

Annoyingly.  

 

Green grass triggered fond memories  

Much like dogs, he considered.  

Spinning upsets his inner ear,  

Disappointingly.  

 

Rebellion just made him nervous  

Much like first dates, he recalled.  

A plan coalesced in his mind,  

Devilishly.  

 

Rolling in the sun excited him  

Much like birthdays, he reflected.  

So, he defied the ban on fun,  

Daringly.  

 

He reassessed the challenge taken,  

Much like a book review, he supposed.  

With care he staggered to the top,  

Satisfyingly.
