The hardest button

When I see a button, maybe fractured a little, on the ground, or rolled away onto the road I pick it up. There are many fine redundant buttons in this world and I hope to rehabilitate a few lucky wee treasures. I heard of a man who had a button phobia, and another who couldn't stand the clattering pelican-like noise of buttons in the mouth.Remember my friends; buttons are for adornment not swallowing.

Keeping Hen

It's a shame we need to make the journey every year to visit the animals at the Auckland Zoo. The tigers biffed, the eels slurped and the flamingos made a racket. Never-mind the children in the tubes and plastic tunnels. Over on K road we saw vegetarian shoes and Myers park rams.
