RELISH AND TRIUMPH

With relish & triumph, the mouse downed the slug. The hedgehog devoured the mouse. The rat left not a molecule behind of the hedgehog. The fox inhaled the rat. The boar made fast food of the fox. The man shot the boar. Which made a fair few fleas homeless. Briefly, for they soon alighted on the man, who had a long full beard & a lovely hairy back for them to settle into snugly. They felt like they had moved just like that from a hovel to a mansion - rags to riches in one glorious instant! But that didnt last long either, for the man barbecued the boar for his birthday a few days later & fed it in chops & burgers to a long line of family & friends & then he died along with all the rest of them from a virus passed on from the slug & so the fleas moved on & so did the virus & that’s not the end of it either. Oh no it isn’t!
