Mob Rule

 

Gone unnoticed, sight unseen

blending with your shade of green

Course and pointy, awkward shape

you are a blight on my landscape,

Dare I be kind and just ignore

and let you live as days before

What harm is there to let you be

except should all my neighbors see

For fear you’ll spread, not that you should

and overtake the neighborhood

They form a mob, rakes by their side

armed with cans of herbicide,

Sorry that you’ll pay the toll

but it’s gotten out of my control.
