Why hello there

I was wandering through a home improvement warehouse store this morning, minding my own business, considering buying items I would never use, when I heard something. I couldn't tell what it was but it was down at the end of the aisle. Past the weed eaters and chainsaws, then I heard it again but this time I understood what I had heard.

"Hey you! Yeah you."

In the midst of a plethora of shovels, hoes, rakes and other implements of destruction, a half sized rake spoke to me.

"Imagine all the piddling in the yard you could get done with me at your side"

I really wasn't looking for a rake today, but he went on to tell me all the advantages of owning him would be including the yard that would be the envy of the neighborhood, I would regrow hair, I may even be elected president. How could I resist?

"And look I'm only $9.69"

Less than ten dollars who can resist a great new life for such a low price. So I slowly lifted my new friend from perch and proudly stroud to the registers.

Minutes after I got home Rake jr, as he insists on being called, got to work in the yard. After only 5 minutes the results began to show. How did I live my life for so long without you Rake jr?

Only problem now is he is insisting with his constant smile that he should live in the house instead of the shed for easy access and work at a moments notice. I don't think the wife will see all of Rake jr's charm and magnetism.
