Poison Ivy ruins my day...
So I doused the surreptitious vine with vinegar. And this was only after the whole bottle of Roundup. And it's STILL crawling all over my fence. Can I just knock down the fence and dig it up? My poor neighbors are oblivious. (Or are they??) Sometimes I hang out in the front yard, waiting for one of them to walk out so I can say, "Hey, you know I'm infected with a Poison Ivy rash all over my body. Went to the doctor and have been on steroids for a week or two. You think we can do something about it?" God, I itch just looking at that green border, swaying in the wind, 3 feet above the top of the fence, probably, no more than likely, dropping it's buds only to germinate on my side yard. And it stares right back at me, laughing, I'm sure of it. I want to grab the clippers and clip it (again), but I am too scared. Too scared and itchy. Afraid that those stinking ivy branches will fall on my head and then I would cry Bloody Murder. And then I would definitely have to go to the hospital. Then they would laugh at me too. Me and my rash. The internet says I could boil the vinegar with salt and douse it in that, but salt may affect the groundwater. Last resort maybe. What else? I'll borrow a goat. Goats like to eat Poison Ivy; they like to chow down on it, and at this point, I'm really considering it. But I don't think my neighbors will go for it. The damn goat would probably eat the grass too. Do you think I could sneak it in at night? Would they notice? I'll get me a Pygmy Goat. A tiny, little black one. Put it through that hole in the fence. They'll think its my dog, Chloe. Uggghhh! I itch thinking about it.
