An acorn snaps and cracks beneath my sandal,  
the sound ignored by flower-munching deer.  
The driveway is a messy, shameless scandal  
of leaves and acorns; not a spot is clear.

My neighbor waves. She has a new leaf blower,  
electric, from the sound of it, but still…  
Ugh, wish I had a real gas one to show her,  
Wait till she gets that new electric bill.

Across the street, their skeleton is bigger.  
It looks as if it climbed out of a bog,  
and chuckles with a ridiculing snigger  
whenever I walk by to walk the dog.

I'll show them who's the real country bumpkin.  
We're going to have to get a bigger pumpkin.
