The Grass Mower: a Clunker

Every other week during summer, or fall ... there's a loud noise rattling my huge window facing the shady street where no kids are seen. . Old fashioned grass cutters like the one I had made a minimal noise, I don't have to visualize it, or see it to describe its actual color... days ago I saw one with a dangling front the front bumper, and the small, miserable guy was trying to snap back in its place. I came outside and yelled, " Fix the darn machine and let me sleep! " and giving him a second nasty look running my mouth as a truck driver, " Sir, " he replied, " I am trying to fix it and finish the job and leave!" " Do it quickly and let me get some more sleep! " that was my answer. And just in case you wonder what its color was .....you are in for a shocking surprise, it was much dirtier than an abandoned car with a finish similar to a chocolate's eclair!
