| DR. SEUSS's LAWN |
| My lawn has grown for days and days "The grass is too tall" my neighbors say They worry it makes them look bad My growing lawn makes them so mad But I don't listen to what they say I want my yard to look this way Besides, I'm lazy -- I'd rather play I will not mow the grass today See how the wind makes it wave Grass was not meant to be shaved It's beauty is most clearly seen When it is tall and lush and green The neighbors gather in the street They point and whisper when they meet I can guess what's being said All my green is making them see red They say I should get off my ass Fire up the mower and cut the grass But I don't care what they say I will not mow the grass today There's no need for them to complain They have no right to be profane It's not their yard -- it's my domain From mowing I choose to abstain Now the neighbors gather near They're trying to nudge me out of fear But I will not mow it if they stay Not even if they go away I will not mow my grass in vain Not in the sun, not in the rain It will remain to their disdain I don't care if they go insane It matters not if my neighbors hate me Nothing they do will MOW-tivate me I want my yard to look this way I will not mow the grass today |
