I like this poem a lot. I would love a Sunday morning when no one cleans
their cars or cuts their hedges or mows the grass. I think Sundays should be
a day of rest and everyone should just slob and listen to the birds and do
quiet things. Sally J
Should it to be too and edges be hedges?

>No one declared this day a prayer-a-thon
>comedians and celebs turned their grinners off
>weathermen pocketed clouds, stuck up a high
>little men twitched on silver threads like flies.

>The people scooped up petals from their roses,
>other mothers sons rode a wind, thrown like posies,
>many a garden in a moment became forlorn.
>The fathers will trim their edges, each Sunday morn

>then silently whittle away with their pruning knives,
>after washing muddy stairs, wives simply sit down, and sit.
