The ABCs of Suburban Real Estate

Asphalt bespoils countryside.
Deer eat forsythia.
Grass, hedges, insects join knotweed.
Lo, McMansion needs one patio.
Quality Realtor says to utilize visual wiles.
Xeriscape yard.
Zoysia!

It's really terrible, especially in light of the wonderous ones produced by Slouching Mom and Niobe.

But it amused me no end.

I am easily amused?

    Heh.

    I'll link it up.

  4. Zoysia is a wonderful "z" word. My grandfather had zoysia, which, as I recall, looked lovely all summer, but turned a dull, dead-looking brown over the winter.

    This was great. (I feel like my comment should be alphabetical, though...a beguling composition?) I also love the "Quality Realtor says to utilize visual wiles" line. Beautiful!

    No, no! it's great! It actually makes sense, which is hard to do with these trick poems.

    Reminds me of someone like Ron Koertge.
