Lets Chat Mrs Turner Cutting the Grass by Carol Shields

"Mrs Turner Cutting the Grass" is a short story about a Girlie Turner, who is an elderly woman who cares nothing about appearances, and a professor who writes a poem about Mrs Turner and her two sisters.

The narration is quite interesting in that is abruptly changes focus from Mrs Turner to the professor who write a humorous poem about Mrs Turner and her sisters.

What I most took from it was the pretentiousness of the professor but as I kept rereading this story I found humor in what the professor likely saw in Girlie Turner.
