The Lawnmower Man

 

He came at last, with pickup truck and tools

And for some two hours there was hammering:

Bang! Bang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! (Dang!)

(Dang!) Bang! Bang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang!

 

And then he went to the store for a bigger hammer:

Bang! Bang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! (Dang!)

(Dang!) Bang! Bang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! Clang! Bang! (Dang!)

 

Heat, humidity, grease, the wrong wrench

The grease gun’s empty the wrong hex key

Dead battery, no brake spring maybe next week

 

The evening was concluded with a lecture

On the wonderfulness of Donald Trump



(In the event the lawnmower runs fine now)
