The Disconsolate Ian Armando

"The rabbit stood transfixed. In the glare from the headlights of an oncoming 4x4 on an
otherwise deserted B road in the outskirts of the town of Frome, he was staring at a pile
of dog's poo. How it got there was a mystery for dogs had been banned from the area
since 1989 (the anniversary of the French Revolution). Sad to relate, this was the last
thing the rabbit ever saw. But there is a happy ending to this tale. Earlier in the day a
hyena had escaped from somebody's back garden and as luck would have it, had come
across the dead rabbit. It was the first meal he'd had all day".
The above piece was submitted, my source informed me, by Ian Armando to the Sunday
paper that is getting a reputation for such trash. It was, however, rejected by his editor
for not being down to Ian's low standards. Den Pennis, Ian's boyfriend, whose column,
it must be said, is in a different class altogether, was also disconsolate.
