mowing the lawn

leaves me exhausted

I would like to return the purchase made

in all good faith to ease my troubled grass

and to replace my constant-recharge blade

whose batteries after years of use have passed.

I bought the Flymo Easy Glide, you see,

for grass was far too long for battery torque

and having given petrol mower free

to daughter who could make the engine talk

I could no longer chop the blessed green

which by the summer rains had grown so tall

but "easy glide," believed, until I'd seen

how difficult it was to move at all.

  I wish I'd saved the box in which it came

  please refund, and I will choose again.
