What strange things some people do.
Yesterday a lady I do not know
was plucking handfuls of grass
from the roadside verge
and stuffing it into a plastic bag.
Politeness got the better of curiosity —
I did not stop to ask but walked on by
as if it was nothing out of the ordinary
while pondering what explanation
might have emerged.

I love speculating. Feeding rabbits at home? Weaving grass baskets? A treat for her pony?

My thought was probably rabbits. Hard to pick enough for a pony!

I suppose that’s true, although, never having had a pony, I can’t be sure.

I have. Believe me they need lots! Unless it is dried into hay (not just cut grass) it is far better for them to graze for themselves in a field. 🙂

I learn something new everyday. 🙂

Or maybe a scientific reason – like studying the way the grass was affected by the atmosphere?

I like that idea. Now I wished I had asked. 🙂

Maybe she has a poorly cat. A bit of grass can help get rid of fur balls.

Possibly. Nice idea, but most cats have access to the outdoors to find their own grass.
