awaken from a dead sleep.the house was shaking,all the birds went quiet...There was a stillness in the air,but it wasn't one of calm,but one of fear.Knowing all to well what the problem was,,I grabbed my pointed shovel,all the while the theme from jaws was blaring through out the area.Across the deck on into the haunts of the dreaded vermin I crept,in my foofoo slippers,stealthy slippers but no fashion statement,you know the the kind,the slippers you try to re gift but they are always given back,,,anyway across the slug invested lawn I went...I knew it had to be a smooth silent stalk,for this was a behemoth of a critter with keen senses and lack of any scruples,likened only to a politician,{yeah that's right,damn scary}.I watch as it surfaced,the land parted,like a scene from some scary picture show,almost biblical..Taking a stance I drew back the shovel and laid waste to him..No easy foe, it took three hard shots about the head and neck to take him down.I called several friends to help me get him hung..
