250,000* brick and only stopped j11

OH NO, DON'T!
Don't cut the weeds,
Just let them grow.
As tall as your house,
They make a good show,
When the stranger apace,
Passes through your town,
O n passenger train,
Or drives a round.
They are good to hide in.
They are s o near
For the thief an^robber,
The man with lager beer.
The centiped and scorpion.
Can also hide there.
Also the rattler and tarantula,
Make's i t their lair.
When summer is funded,
And they begin to decay,
They'll create desease;
And . o h say"
When after they dry
Like powder in a can,
They'll be a good thing
To burn up your town,
No, don't cut the weeds,
just let them grow
As high as the trees,
For they make a good show,
To the stranger who comes
With his money, I fain
PJe'd shake his head
And take the next train,
