Spring time

The days are growing longer, warmer

The snows are less often, lighter

Soon the storms will turn to rain

And no longer will I need to plow

It will be time to prepare for spring

Snow will leave and grass will grow

And I will need to cut the grass

On the tractor remove the blade

And take the chains off the tires

Drain the engine and replace the oil

Sharpen the mower deck blades

Mount the deck and hook it up

To be ready to cut the grass

On my tractor all year round

Always with more work to do
