The Old Garden Shed by John Davies

One Summer afternoon Matt ventured out into the garden. The sight that greeted him was a huge ocean of green! Walking reluctantly into the old garden shed,he dug amongst gardening tools to find his lawn-mower and eased her free.Stepping out of the dusty,cobwebbed shed,he forced the plug lead into the extension socket.Surprisingly and shockingly,the contraption switched itself on without consent! Soon,like a beast, this red and green four-wheeler was running rampage! Careering all over the multicoloured flowerbed,beheading chrysanthemums and letting fly ripped tulips hedgebound like superheroes clubbed away by a comic-book monster! This once beautiful flowerbed ripped bare, Matt could only be left dumbstricken as a mischievous metallic machine wriggled free of its lead and magically flew helicopter-like,propelled and elevated by rotary gnashers !
