Welcome to Cozy Poetry Corner by Debra A Winter (Richter)

(This is a funny poem about everyday problems—from broken cars to wild gardens—that makes a playful case for hiring a cheap pro instead of doing it yourself.)

“A Pro: Who Needs One?”

I need a pro.

My car won’t go.

I lost my phone.

I’m renting my home.

I garden now and then,

But only when…

The sun is out–

and I’m cursed- with sniffling a snout.

Still, I need a pro,

Cause, I don’t know…

How to fix my car or make a garden grow.

 My garden’s dead. I’m out of money, so…

At least the car is clean,

But the grass is mean—

It’s tall and wild,

I feel like a feral child.

Do weeds ever pretend?

Does it’s evil ever end?

The grass needs mowing

My clothes need sewing.

Please find me a cheap pro.

“Does anyone know, where I can call or go?”

Please be my friend and tell me so–

I don’t like the answer, no!
