Spring: Romanticism vs. Realism

Flowering plants
and budding trees.
Making a pollen breeze,
watery eyes, and a tremendous sneeze.

Greening zoysia grass
that's quickly growing.
Buying costly gas
that's for weekly mowing.

Tilling the soil
to plant vegetable seeds.
Having to toil
to pull the summer weeds.

Singing in the morning
are the various birds.
Waking me from snoring
to wash the cars of their ______.
