WITHOUT MALICE

So difficult at times
To mention the obvious
Without causing hurt
Here is the question
How many people
Park in their drives
Then when exiting
Drive over the lawn
To turn around
The answer I found
By observation is
Very few do this
Why ruin good grass
They just carefully
Back out of the drive
Onto the road
Then proceed to
Where they are going
Even on country grass
You will leave your mark
As summer progresses
Yellow trails will replace
What was once green
How to make the request
Without injuring feelings
And then, what about
My feelings.  I have worked
For four years improving
The landscape including
The lawn.  Snowplow men
Do enough damage to my work
They drive the big truck
Have all the power
Consideration is not 
A word used frequently
They have a job to do
Get paid, too, regardless
No one knows what I go through
Many offer free advice 
How about a sign
“Please do not drive on the grass”
That is pretty obvious
Let the chips fall where they will
