Trilogy

Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm), has written a trilogy of poems that together communicate the unified message of yard safety, including the advancement of his awareness and prevention themes.  The first poem "Lawn Manicure" is a haiku that focuses on the natural aspects of grass with a subtle safety message.  The second poem "Birth of Rescue Rick" is a limerick that light-heartedly introduces our yard safety super hero Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm).  The third poem "Prevent Lawn Mower Accidents" is a rhythmic poem that communicates a first-hand experience of a lawn mower amputee and crescendos to spur a collaborative effort to create awareness regarding yard accidents and to communicate a safety message to eliminate yard accidents, in particular, outdoor power equipment accidents.
 
Lawn Manicure (Haiku)
By Richard Mudrinich
 
Growing grass needs cut,
Mowers mulch blades of grass only
Creating beauty.
 
 
Birth of Rescue Rick (Limerick)
By Richard Mudrinich
 
There once was a man
Who was a grass-cutting fan.
He cut off his big toe
Screaming oh no!
And hence was born Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.
 
 
Yard Safety Awareness (Poem)
By Richard Mudrinich
 
Think before you cut. It hurts!
Sometimes even blood spurts.
You go to the emergency room.
You sometimes go to the operating room.
 
You become dependent on the care of a medical professional.
Sometimes even congressional.
It costs everyone a lot of money.
It is far from funny.
 
Sometimes you yell ouch
Spending many hours at home on the couch.
After the accident things are not the same.
Life presents you with a new and different game.
 
Many people want to prevent a yard tragedy.
Many medical professionals work in harmony.
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is here today
With hopes that lawn mower accidents go away.
 
Think before you cut.  It hurts!
Think before you cut.  It hurts!
