Creating a Mess!

My backyard is ugly! It wasn't always a disaster. Once it was emerald green grass and sparkling flowers from stem to stern. Looked like a page out of House and Garden. Unfortunately time, hard luck, and weak fortitude gradually got the best of the backyard. The whole thing eventually went to shambles and brambles. But that's the way of the world, nothing lasts forever. Death makes life possible. Destruction is part of the creative process. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Took one look at the shambles `n' brambles and commenced moanin', ``Oh, woe's me."

I sat right there for two nights, an' a day, just b'moanin', and b'wailin' to get all out to no end. I was a no 'count grumbler and mumbler, fur shure, the way I carried on. Finally, I gives up, and goes inside on the second morning. I decided my moanin' and wailin' wasn't doin' no good no way. Plus I had to pee a lake.

The short of it is this, we hired a crew to get the backyard all shipshape again. It's not like before, but it's Ok. Can't always have everything, I guess.

People say accept what you got. Be happy! See the sunny side. Smile! Well, that ain't always so easy. It's hard not to take hard times hard. But there is a point when you do have to get up and pull yourself up by your own self and that's usually when your bladder's full.
