Round Up

It has been said that “a lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.”

Not so in Australia. A lawn here is simply the lesser amongst other evils; concrete, pavers, a garden, bush, or a pool. 

Oddly, all are more work than grass. Even concrete. Oh, let me name the ways.

But let me say this; all lawns are all grass, but not all grass is all lawn.

Keep your lawn and your political metaphors, you poor fools of the northern hemisphere.

Still, with all that said and noted, in future you won’t catch me having to make such an observation.

The odd languid splash of the Round Up; that’s it, me being inexplicably generous to a landlord that I don’t even know.
