When we bought the house …
It had a little creek in back
The kids like to play back there
We fed the geese We dumped our grass
clippings That’s where I get rid of
brush
Now it’s a thicket The banks are eroding The geese are
everywhere. They make such a mess
What does it hurt to throw grass and branches in the creek?
