Dandelion Destruction

With the coming of spring comes the coming of the gardening season. My aunt decided that the lawn needed mowing, and like any guilty freeloader I volunteered to aid. I was given the menial task of weeding the surrounding area. My aunt decided that we should start at the front garden and I was to dig out the invasion that was the dandelions. I wondered why anyone would want to destroy these flowers, they looked very nice to me, but who was I to judge? I was told to lay on the devestation, and thus I did.

Joining me in the cause was Comrade Weeding Tool. Together we made a brutal force, searching around for the dandelion scum, digging right into the root of the problem. Some of them were crafty, disguising themselves as pretty flowers or sometimes even grass. But we managed to root them out, and bringing an end their reign of terror.

Once we found a giant monster flower which we hacked and hacked at until it was destroyed. We tried to root out its master, but unfortunately it managed to espace deep into its little hole, hidden to strike again another day.

Unfortunately like all conflicts there were casualties, with the uprooting of things I wasn’t sure were weeds. I found that the Supreme Commander mowed over pretty flowers that I was going to take pictures off. So upon finding more pretty flowers, I plucked them out and hidden them away, refugees from a dark war. Later I asked if they were to be destroyed and she said no. Darsh. I killed innocents for nothing. Thus is war.

But I decided I needed my camera before more innocents were to be destroyed. Under the guise of going to blow my nose I ran to my room for my camera, which ceased to work upon trying to take the first picture. Greatly upset Comrade Weeding Tool turned to me and stated that the only thing that would cheer me up was mass herbicide. So together we went, stalking in the not-very-tall unmowed grass, scouring the area for any sign of the fiends - enemies of the nation.


Later our elite force was joint by Major Orange Bucket. He was a bit of a bore, so we made him hold the captured enemies for questioning later. We ripped apart dandelions, breaking apart families, trampling down habitats. We found spies and held unfair trails for them, and moved the civillians out of harms way.

When finally we were done, I reported back to the Supreme Commander, who rewarded me with the task of making providing her with coffee and making myself tea.

  1. Lovely, once again! You seem so childish in a good way, I'm actually really impressed with your creativity and playful outlooks at life. I mean I've always known you're creative, but not in this organized way I guess. It's great reading :)
