What is under that wheelbarrow

something is under the wheelbarrow today It moved up in the air in a weird way a monkey? a squirrel? tiger or bear? a faerie queen with gobs of sparkly green hair? the wheelbarrow moved ever so slightly whatever it is, can I afford to take it lightly? what if it is a kitten, a bird or a large puppy? a whale? a shark? or perhaps a teensy guppy? the green wheelbarrow started to shiver and shake. this is a real story, true all the way through, not a bit fake. a column of red fire ants paraded out, a thousand in all. proud and fierce, all puffed up, with lots of gall. Then a snake, a whale, a dolphin, and a baboon. They brought with them a storm and a little monsoon. I stared at it amazed, wondering what else would come out. My husband was the last one, and he gave a big shout.
