Metal Wind Shaker

Uh! I shoved open the sliding door because the house smelled like old carpets! Out on the concrete patio, there was a round green mesh patio table with a big hollow aluminum umbrella pole sticking right through the center. But there wasn't an umbrella in it, just an empty dark pipe! So I picked up an empty tin soup can from by the planter and tried to shove it down the pipe! It was too fat! CLONK! So I did something way better. I took an old brass key lying in the patio dirt, tied a dangling piece of rough brown twine around it, and dropped it straight down the dark tube while holding the string! TINK-TINK-CLATTER! I jerked the twine up and down like a fishing pole! CLANG-CHIME-RATTLE! The hollow tube echoed like a monster church bell right into my face! Best secret pipe bell ever!
