Ten Excuses for Not Mowing the Lawn

This is a humorous list of reasons for not mowing the lawn today.

Mowing the lawn is a rewarding activity for some people. You work outside in the bright sun and are rewarded by a nicely, manicured lawn. However, other individuals do not like to mow the lawn at all. Here are ten excuses for not mowing the lawn:

  1. I like to experience the jungle effect of a nice tall lawn
  2. I just threw out my back. I'm afraid I won't be able to mow the lawn for a week.
  3. I'm allergic to grass. I'm allergic to weeds. But most of all, I'm allergic to work.
  4. The kids want to go to the baseball game so badly. Can't it just wait until tomorrow?
  5. I consulted my horoscope and it warned me that I would be in grave danger if I mowed the lawn today. How can I argue with fate?
  6. I've got to go into work today. I just got an emergency call.
  7. I've got hemorrhoids and they're acting up this very moment
  8. I've got piano lessons in thirty minutes. I'm playing in a soccer game in two hours. I've been invited to see a newly released movie. I'm sorry but I'm completely book. Go talk to my secretary tomorrow about mowing the lawn.
  9. I'm afraid that if I mow the lawn, I will obliterate every last blade of grass in the backyard
  10. I'm waiting for the grass to grow to the top of our trees. It will be called our Blades of Glory.

The best way to get out of mowing is to take handfuls of wild flower seeds and strew them all over your yard. Lay a few branches here and there and let the little animals make a home for themselves. You will have a beautiful meadow and the animals will thank you.
