This is the kind of guy who gives his neighbors fits. I’m surprised he didn’t include beer bottles in his list, along with the other “free spirits” as my husband calls them who hang out there. At least he got rid of that truck. Used to be this was a place where people had a simple fence and mowed their lawn on Saturdays. That moss and such is a disgrace to those of us who want our places looking nice. Why just a few years ago he brought a backhoe in his backyard and dug a pond just to let the mosquitoes have a place to breed. Speaking of breeding, it ought to be against the law to let his dog and cat run around the neighborhood like they own it. Someday one of them will bite someone and then the law will come. The nerve of inviting us to a party knowing we won’t come. I’ll cat5ch him urinating out back one day, and then he’ll have to answer to father D. Can you believe the pink flamingoes? What’s next, trolls?
The only false note here is at the end--obviously, the speaker as characterized would approve of garden trolls, lawn jockeys, Mary shrines, and so on, and regrets the guy's obvious lack of classy taste in purchasing a few.
