Just Another Day in the Life in Oklahoma
The grass is high
over my ankles in length
All the rain last week
made the grass sprout
like a child
all overnight
High noon I started to mow
Man was that dumb
It was a hot Oklahoma day
The sun was beating down on me
I mowed the front yard
and was sweating profusely
Neighborhood children playing
The sneezing and allergies were
more of an annoyance than all the sticks
that I had to dodge or be hit in the face
Bruises on my legs
show the truth
show the fact that I could not dodge
and walk at the same time
Thank God for nothing, but shade here
On to the right side yard
The grass is even taller over here
at about my lower thigh in length
Whoa the ground is softer than usual
I find myself sinking
Sneezing and allergies not so bad over here
Huh that is strange
Five minutes and I am done
I made better time than usual
On to the back yard
Wow! High Noon has a new meaning back here
The sun is beating down on me
No shade in sight
I always thought my backyard
was the surface of the sun
Today it was proved to me
Over half way finished and now there is
a size 9 foot print sized hole
in the yard
Sank to my ankle, the ground was
dry and soft all at the same time
HD Vision Aviators® sunglasses on my face
Still the sun is hot and bright
But the colors of the day are amazing
The greens, the blue skies and white clouds, and even the dirt brown is pretty
Just another day in the life in Oklahoma.

Is Oaklahoma attempting to change its name to Oaklahomo?
Anonymous,
I do not understand what you mean by your comment, but you need to be more respectful of people and place that are different from you and where you live, not to mention you need to learn to spell.
Way cool! Some extremely valid points! I appreciate you writing this post
and the rest of the website is very good.
There are basically two sides to an car insurance 9 dollars a month policy:
the liability side and the comprehensive side.
Getting a special rate, especially if you drive really badly all the time for processing and approving claims
to the absolute minimum coverage I must get? The
first two are required for cars or motorcycles which are registered to one small row home on Willard Street in Philadelphia.
So if you possess an A in the exam then it is at this time that you should know before you purchase
a classic car or custom auto.
