The 10 Commandments of Lawncare

In keeping with the absurdity of the Vatican's 10 Commandments for Driving, my buddy Steven just riffed this list off. It is one funny piece of literature!

The 10 Commandments of Lawncare

  • 1. Thou shalt not let thine lawn grow more than 4 inches before thine runs a mower over it.
  • 2. When thine canine defecates in the lawn of another, be courteous and pick up the offending odoriferous log.
  • 3. If thine leaves from thine tree, or the cuttings from thine mower blow into the yards of thine neighbor, do the righteous thing and sweep them into thine bin.
  • 4. Thine trees will not hang into thine neighbor’s airspace.
  • 5. A weed taller than thou is no longer a weed, but a monument to thine laziness.
  • 6. Waste not the water from thine hose - wash thine horseless carriage in your yard and kill two birds with one stone.
  • 7. Procreate, for every child thine has means less time working the lawns thine self.
  • 8. Start early, finish early, so thine days feel longer, but do not use motorized leaf blowers before 10:30 AM.
  • 9. Plant not more than thine family can consume, thine neighbors really don't want 5 more bags of tomatoes.
  • 10. Do not covet the fruits and vegetables of thine gardens. Carrots and cucumbers are meant to be eaten, not used in a fashion of debauchery.
