Leaf blower,
badge of masculinity
breaches her tranquility
on the back porch.

Venus and Mars once aligned,
when new love was divined,
then came the annoyance phase,
torch of romance no longer ablaze.

She now understood,
what he knew as the greater good…
is it worth a battle of the sexes,
to turn into exes?

Ladies,
let it go,
appreciate your Joe,
let the leaf blower blow!
