Nut
grass! I told the woman at the property man-
agement
office over the phone. Do you know what
nut
grass is, I asked her? “Well, er...a... no,” she
stammered
her reply.
“It’s
a damn weed,” I went on in a rant. “Grows
fast
and high, a crop of long blades bunched to-
gether,
about 18-inches tall, grows like hell even
in
the hot, dry, Midwestern summer...Nut grass!”
Your
lawn service hasn’t mowed the lawn here in
nearly
two weeks!” I pitched my bitch at her. “You
folks
are letting this property go to hell!”
I’ll
tell you, people these days, smart phones, smart
TVs,
smart watches, smart everything, and they don’t
know
nut grass from a hole in their ass. What in hell
is
this world coming to?
“When
are they going to come and cut the grass,”
I
asked?” “Oh, “I do believe I hear them outside now,”
she
raised her voice an octave or two as if pleasantly
surprised
before hanging up the phone. That was two
hours
ago, and they still haven’t arrived.
Damn
nut grass!
