Looking at the Yardwork

(Barking in the distance)
Four Ponderosa Pines
Seven power lines
I sneezed twice because Dogwoods
And I want to replace the worthless
fence, I once got an estimate
But we bought a camper instead
My neighbor has two ponderosa pines
in their backyard
And they replaced their deck last year
Then we replaced our car
Whom I'll miss when it sells
But now I have satellite
And a backup cam
And no longer will I fear the driveway
Which also needs renewal
And stump removal
My lilac is growing buds for leaves
But the tree behind our garage is dead
(barking in the distance)
