Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

The city of Newton enacted a law that said all lawns must be mowed to a standard height

My typical preference for lawn height happens to be two feet

I like dandelion and chickweed bouquets

I thought of a way to get around this law by plowing up and getting rid of the lawn

And replacing the lawn with rows of corn

Now imagine opening your front door and walking through a field of corn to get your morning newspaper

Corn is a grass and a fine crop

Now I can't imagine any municipality in the state of Iowa banning corn but they would probably try.
