The lawn mower song.

  • I’m a lown mower, not a Boer.
  • I go higher, I go lower.
  • I’m not white, I’m not racist.
  • I’m a lawn mower, I must insist.
  • (Pause for breath.)
  • I’m a lown mower, not a Boer.
  • I like the indigenous peoples.
  • I don’t build oppressive steeples.
  • I’m a lawn mower, not a Boer.
  • I’ve never started a single war.
  • The worst thing I’ve done is stab the poor.
  • (Pause for breath.)
  • I’m a lawn mower, not a Boer.
  • Please don’t tell me to go more slower.
  • I like grammar, I have blades.
  • I will cut you and your children.

And light-year is actually two words and the “T” is capitalized in YouTube and there’s no comma before unlike and it’s “their attending” and not “them attending” but you don’t see me complaining.

Precisely why I don’t have commenting enabled :D

That’s what you think (hoodwink.d by _why).
