From across the hedge
I observed in my neighbour's garden a small child propped up in the manner of one of Geppetto's trial runs, glancing skywards and babbling insouciantly an uninterrupted steam of bebop sea shanties so melodious that it seemed inevitable they would attract more people to the yard than my very own milkshake.

Concerned for the child's safety, I scaled the hedge and seized him softly but firmly about the shoulders. Imagine my surprise when he turned and revealed himself to be a wizened, steam-powered automaton in the likeness of a fun-sized Donald Trump. Bewildered but determined in my desire to protect and serve, I watered him thoroughly and made a mental note to make a donation to Guide Dogs for the Drunk.
