Had met for monthly meeting.
They started talking business when
They’d finished with their greetings.
The president had minutes read,
Led matters to discuss,
And after that, one member there
Began to make a fuss.
“My neighbor’s lawn has not been mowed
The past two months or more.
From looking at tall grass and weeds,
I’m starting to get sore.
It’s too bad we who live nearby
This burden have to bear,
For we have our own homes and yards
Requiring our care.
Because of their lawn’s lack of care,
Our neighborhood looks bad.
When I walk by their house each day,
To see it makes me sad.
I hear the husband took a fall.
His wife’s had surgery.
It’s tough that they have had bad luck,
But what is that to me?”
While he complained, one man slipped out
To mow and cut those weeds.
Then he went home and got his wife
To help care for their needs.

Especially when this couple had health needs.
I loved the story you told in this poem. It made it's point and it was easy to understand the message.
Congratulations on your third place in EC.
