Question: Care for a greasy offering!?
Grease Gun Dogfights

Monotony on a tractor, common,
entertainment always self made!.
My weapon upon those fall days:
grease gun, portable and full!.
The opponents appeared, winged
feasting on buffet offerings
of what the plow’s blades churned
Now a grease gun projectile flies
40 feet, wind aided, of course
and gulls were never timid…so
plop, one launced, the gull moved
plop again… plop, plop, plop!
The gulls having advanced radar…
they really did, never aborted
in spite of heavy grease ack-ack!
They survived and feasted well
and I stayed awake, beating sleep!.
But my Dad never knew, although he asked,
why the grease gun was always empty!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Boys toys are so inventive! I have heard a lot of old tractor stories, never this one, Kudos! Even if the pesty gulls were target, Thou would be reported these days! Tractors of now days are equipped with luxury these days, starting with A/C
and heaters etc!. So much fun these now plow boys miss!

Inventive boy toys, walked away from my three year old grand son for 5 minutes! He loaded the elec!. blower with acorns,
and was having a blast shooting them out! Males do think
differ!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Grease gun fights - how novel and what fun - leave it to the creative mind - to utilize "weapons" at hand!. The image of black grease against white gull is startling!. Good job ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Grease is the word!
It occurred on the bird
Neonman got his gun out
Grease in the timing
The gulls hit in motion
But his Dad took the fun out!.
