Title: Riding Mowers
ttto: Tiny Bubbles by Leon Pober

Riding mowers
On the lawns
They're so noisy
I want them gone
Riding mowers
With polluting motors
Why'd they feel they need to start them
All up at the crack of dawn

Seems nearly every day
There's one not far away
I have no peace and quiet, just dismay

Riding mowers
In the 'hood
Make a racket
More than they should
Riding mowers
And those damned leaf blowers
I'd outlaw those noisy monsters
(Or) make them quiet if I could

For me it will come too late
But someday, yet, my state's
Pollution laws will cause them to abate

'Lectric mowers
'Stead of gas
Though not silent
They have more class
'Lectric mowers
For you large lawn growers
Why not use them 'fore you're forced to?
Prove to us you are not crass

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.
