Front Yards

 In people’s front yards

(That is, if they’re allowed), 

They can have a display

Which will make them feel proud.


Some have flowers and banners

Or bushes and hedges 

Or humorous statues

Lined up on the edges.


A spinner or whirligig 

Might add some fun

Or a sculpture or wind sock

When not overdone.


Now, my personal taste

May be different from yours,

But some people have yards

No one ever ignores


For they’re filled with such tchotchkes 

They make my head swim;

Yet although my opinion

Of this might be dim


To those owners, such plenty

Brings joy and such pride

It’s a wonder they ever

Come in from outside.
