For Sadje’s What Do You See? prompt
.
There was a horticultural college in Grassmere. Professor Blade was in charge, a disciplinarian who kept a close eye on his students, especially Iris, a good-looking girl who once blindsided him with a cutting remark that almost got her turfed out. He’d have given her a lashing if it was allowed. He told her to put a lid on it instead.
He quite liked Lawna. Whilst browsing through her landscaping plans he saw something that bordered on brilliant. Eye-eye, he thought, she’s on the verge of becoming a star pupil.
One day Iris saw Lawna mowing. It was then she decided to focus on maintaining rather than creating gardens.

Awesome story Keith. I was chuckling at Lawna mowing…she probably looked forlorn!!
I just hope Prof. Blade’s wife wasn’t left a grass widow! After all… the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence…
her a*# is grass!
You do have a way with words and puns.
You lawn-der words like a lawn-dromat! 😂
Clever as always.
Excellent wordplay Keith. Really enjoyed your story. Thanks for joining in.
Hello, Keith. That’s a good take on the prompt, love all the punning in there and the perfect names, well done.
Another delightful treat for us, Keith! Most clever, indeed! I’ll not let you out of my sight any time soon! 👁️
Love it Keith 🙂
