Number 80. Olympic Mowing.

Olympic mowing.

I mowed the lawn all day today;
Walked ten miles along the way,
So since I’m champion it ought,
To be an Olympic sport!

Now I come to think of it,
I am really very fit;
See my muscles and you’ll tell,
(I mow the neighbour’s lawn as well).

Both our gardens are quite big,
I don’t just mow but also dig.
I trim the hedges twice a year,
And now and then the ditches clear.

No wonder then that I am trim,
Strong of heart and lean of limb;
An athlete capable of gold...
The only trouble is I’m old!
