Bent Pin on the Yard

A yard pin sits bent.
Spike did not invent a villain. He looked. Suzy looked with him.
Clue one: pin leaned like a tired comma.
Clue two: rail hole showed oval wear from wobble.
Clue three: goat hoof marks near the rail where something leaned hard.
Adventure Cap wanted a chase. Thinking Cap habit said gather, then guess once.
Tools reminded: look for marks, compare, check. Tools did not fix alone.
Suzy swapped the bent pin for a true one and checked the rail once.
They thanked the yard with a quiet check, not a lecture.
Kids: if a peg is bent, replace it — do not hammer until it snaps.
