An Open Letter to the Weeds

Dear Weeds,

You and I have been fighting for the last couple of years.  I have pulled you up, sprayed you with weed killer, and hated you all summer.  Yet, you still come back up - stronger, more spread out and with thicker stalks!  I would get done pulling you and your friends up and then see a ton of you and your friends back to taunt me.

Well weeds, I think it is time for me to surrender.  We have had a good fight, but you win.  You see weeds, I would like to spend my summer doing other things rather than fight you. 

So I surrender to you.  I am going to stop fighting you and your friends coming up and having a party in my front yard.  Come, party, enjoy.  But know this:  I will be mowing you and your friends down every week.  If I can't be rid of you, the least I can do is control your height!

Here is to an uneasy truce.
Me
