Requiem for Mr. Mower-

I remember the times I tried to start you.
Pull, pull, pull, pull
Not even a sputter from your cold engine.
Pull, pull, pull, pull
You sputtered and coughed
Pull, pull, pull, kick
Nothing.
Pull, pull, pull, pull
You coughed
Pull, pull pull,
My Arms in pain-
You torment my masculinity.
Pull, pull
As a child I would give in to your Will and go in and get my dad. He would sigh and with one mighty pull you would start. Why did you mock me so? As I grew older and stronger I learned your evil tricks. I would cut you off each step of the way. Eventually we became one and ruled the yard.
Our partnership has ended and you have gone off to mow greener pastures in the afterlife.
