Oh! Lovely strip of grass that lies (or should it be lays?) between the sidewalk and the road, long have you been neglected.
Attended only by desperate dogs and city maintenance workers, you lie (or lay) unwatered and uncared for.
Left to burnish under the summer sun, until winter's snowplows gouge your delicate surface.
Who will give you the recognition you seek?
Who will name you and save you from obscurity?
Who cares?

Ok, I just laughed out loud!
