Rescue this Fug Yard!



Lis and Kip need our help! They are entering a yard makeover contest and need something snappy (in 40 words or less) to win the contest and save Maddie from a blighted childhood playing in this backyard (either they win, or that poor girl is going to have to wear a helmet whenever she's out back to avoid brain damage when she bonks into the concrete wall).

Here's what I came up with:


Here in Seatac
the grass is totally whack.
Our lawn is so fug,
An astroturf rug
Is our desperate plan of attack.

Plastic ends our woe
But gives us a case of turftoe.
Help us out,
make something sprout
We need some green to grow.
It's got possibilities, but needs some fine tuning and it's 5 words too long. Help!!!

wow, I'm so impressed - and you could easily shorten it by deleting a few words (ie make the line "gives us turftoe" instead of the longer one you have)!!! you are so smart, i would never have come up with something like that! :)

Wow, I'm really impressed. Maybe I'll steal this and enter The Prentice's.

The Prentice's could never win with their pretty deck!
