The Leaf Blowers

 

Oh how the leaf blowers scream
assaulting our ears
shutting out any conversation
they wake you in the mornings
disturbing the peace
they sweep all before them
mini tornadoes
clogging the gutters with leaves
littering the street with debris
the operators do not mind
they are all deaf anyway
they seem to enjoy their work
and when the blowers finally die down
the morning is ruined
nerves on edge
teeth rattled
but at least they are gone
and there is a peace in the neighborhood
the dogs quit barking
the cats can come down off the roof
the Leaf Blowers have left
and a strange calm prevails
all our senses frayed
our minds blown away.

Thanks, dk. I penned something on leaf blowers a little while ago but without describing the post-apocalytic scene as you have done. Enjoyed this one.

Leaf Blowers are nefarious individuals and quite possibly communists sent to destroy the nation's morale. Try to ignore them
