FRANCIS<\/strong>:<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Frank\u00a0, You know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going on down there on the planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets, milkweeds and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colours by now. But, all I see are these green rectangles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>St. FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started calling your flowers &#8216;weeds&#8217; and went to great lengths to kill them and replace them with grass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GOD:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Grass? But, it&#8217;s so boring. It&#8217;s not colorful. It doesn&#8217;t attract butterflies, birds and bees, only grubs and sod worms. It&#8217;s sensitive to temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass growing there?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u200e<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ST. FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any other plant that crops up in the lawn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GOD:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast. That must make the Suburbanites happy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u200e<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ST. FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it, sometimes twice a week.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u200e<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GOD:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">They cut it?

They fertilize grass so it will grow. And, when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ST.

That surely slows the growth and saves them a lot of work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ST. FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You aren&#8217;t going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it, so they can continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GOD:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What nonsense. At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the soil and protect the trees and bushes. It&#8217;s a natural cycle of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>ST. FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u200e<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GOD:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">No!?

FRANCIS:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they call mulch.
