‘Tis the Season
Shirt off,
Belly out.
Bandana tied,
Poop scooped.
Sunscreen…??
(What’s sunscreen?)
Humidity cursed,
Shorts soaked.
Shoes stained,
Weeds whacked.
Lawn mowed,
Forehead wiped.
Sidewalk swept,
Beer fetched.

The quick lines definitely give this the feel of a to-do list being checked off one item at a time.
Sounds like a solid day’s work to me. My favorite line is “belly out.”
I liked the rhythm with the short lines, felt like skipping through a day. Thanks for sharing.
using few words but evoking many sensory experiences
Concise and right to the point—beer, for sure!
