Spazzin' Out
I am spazzing out! Seriously! My lovely little patch of lawn that I have laboured over and tended tenderly (like that?), has got ARMY WORM. AGAIN! ARRRGGGHHH!
I knew it as soon as I saw those b****y dead patches appearing and spreading. SPREADING! Across my freakin' lawn! Again!
This produced the jaw drop (always a nice look), the bug eyes (another nice look), the red climbing my face (third nice look) and then the top of my head blew off as I screamed (spittle flying) “ARE YOU FOR FREAKIN' REAL? ARMY WORM? AGAIN?"
Not quite believing it, though the signs were all before my bug-eyes, I took the torch out as darkness fell, shone it on the lawn and yes...ARMY WORMS! ON MY FREAKIN' LAWN!
WAR! WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED!
I have just come back from Bunnings with 2 packs (yes, 2 PACKS!) of insecticide to rain down on those dastardly little buggers. Tonight, as dusk falls - WAR! I, the insecticide, and Army Worms are coming face-to-face, and I'm bigger, tougher, meaner and armed to destroy - those Army Worms are history.
Until next time...*sob*
