Deep in the jungles of our unmowed backyard, a resistance was forming. It seems as if the little backyard animals liked having the unkempt vegetation and limitless resources. They liked their little slice of home. One of the sentinels made contact with one of the humans, and turned him against the rest of the humans. How could someone fall for their plan and become a traitor? Promises of chocolate milk. Rock is a sucker for chocolate milk, and he's a traitor!
The little Fuzzies of the Rebellion caught Rock at just the right time. As it turns out, the little guy wasn't minding his parents, and so his ration of chocolate milk was cut off. Rock was furious, and suceptible to their filthy lies.
Their plan was diabolical; by using Rock to distract and keep the older humans busy, they could keep the backyard unmowed and free. Rock did an admirable job looking cute and getting Daddy Human to play with him.
But the rebellion was worried that Rock couldn't keep both humans busy, and while Mommy Human was feeding Rock, Daddy human snuck out to clean the backyard and reclaim the territory. But they were prepared, and had a sneak attack hiding inside the mower bag.
The ambush worked on Mommy human, who jumped, waved her arms and ran to hide in the bathroom on the toilet. It was funny enough that Daddy human almost dropped the mower bag on Rock while laughing.
Rock refused to break under interrogations. He stood strong and refused to rat out his rat-like comrades. His defiance even included recruiting other operatives for their resistance.
"Pss...Hey Mommy, I can get you a position of power in the new government. Help me get rid of the big guy and we can rule the Fuzzies!"
Finally, Rock was caught. Daddy human finally was able to catch him in his web of lies, and Rock completely spilled his sippy cup.
"Hey, Mom. Remember that offer I made to you over by the couch? Think you want to accept that now and spring me out of here? C'mon...Please!"
Rock was sentenced to a night in his crib, but thanks to a softy judge he was able to enjoy a delicious meal first.
Daddy human argued for a change of venue, since the judge was previously involved in negotiations with the rebellion. But the motion was shot down.
All we can hope is that Rock has learned his lesson and will be a willing mower of lawns in about five years. That'd be nice.
Seems like someone "fixed" the lawnmower in a post a wee back. IF that thingy spins under the deck it might be a little tougher for those fuzzy critters to get into the bag. When the Master Mechanic said he fixed the machine was it to make it a mower or a condo??? Pa
ReplyDeleteMom, Dad and I are debating what kind of animal was in your lawn mower bag..... mouse or rabbit?
