Sprinkler Surprise

I waddled off the flagstone patio straight toward the green hose reel! A fat brass multi-spray nozzle was lying loose on the damp grass. I leaned all my plush weight against the ribbed selector ring. Click-click! It rotated smoothly with a heavy snap. I paused, tilted sideways, and threw myself against the squeeze lever. Pssssht! A sharp hiss of trapped air and cold mist burst straight out of the rim, puffing a fine cloud right across my visor! I froze. Paused. Then bounced with a wild, buzzing wobble. A pressurized fog blaster right in the lawn!
