The Dance of the Lawn Mowers


So it began again.  The Dance of the Neighborhood Lawnmowers.  It usually begins with the sound of a lawn mower choking. 

Brrrrrum.  Brrrrrum.  Brrrrrum.

(Today, that was my lawn mower.)

Brrrrrrum.  Brrrrrrrum.  Brrrrrrrrum.

And then my lawn mower started.

Roar!  Roar!  Roar! As I followed behind this vehicle and the grass started flying.

Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!

Then I heard the harmony.  Ruummm bum bum.  Rummmmm bum bum.

Any my neighbor's lawn mower was running.

Roar! Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar Whoosh!

Ruummm bum bum.  Rummmmm bum bum.

Roar! Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar Whoosh!

 Ruummm bum bum.  Rummmmm bum bum.

More harmony came from the neighbor next door.

Waawahh waawaah waawahaah!  Waawahh waawaah waawahaah! Waawahh waawaah waawahaah!

Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  The real harmony began!


Roar! Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar Whoosh!

Ruummm bum bum.  Rummmmm bum bum.

Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom! 

Roar! Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar Whoosh!

Ruummm bum bum.  Rummmmm bum bum.

Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom!  Barooooom! 

Roar! Whoosh!  Roar!  Whoosh!  Roar Whoosh!
