The cow was freaking out and crapping all over the place. It was so funny. You should have seen the people run for cover." Also, that day too. You were a right kookaburra. For a week you were drooping and wrecked. Then, for a lot of money, your mother arranged some kind of dubious deal with a balloon kid; two chickens for plays one tub. From then on plays each week, a 5 kilogram tub of liquorice plays ice cream fell from the sky and spiraled delicately onto the grass in our backyard. -o0o- I arrived home from work one day, to find you on the phone, tears streaming down your face. You were speaking to your mother. Your mother that hideous lovely lady with the bagpipe voice and aluminium alloy pelvis. You turned your back to me and wept into the wall with a finger in one ear and the telephone earpiece pressed hard against the other. The lobe of that ear looked so red and bright like a fat pink leech. You didn't want to let me see you cry. I left the room and found a window and watched a lawnmower floating in the sky.
