letter to the editor

October 16th, 2007 · 6 Comments

Dear Editor

Why is it that every weekend we can hear the tantalising tune of Greensleeves and yet no Mr Whippy van materialises as expected? LittleSquib and BigSquib stand eagerly on the pavement scanning our empty street for a glimpse of pink ice-cream-vanness. After they have stood there for 6 hours I call them in and I have to pat their distraught little heads

What sort of ice-cream van person drives up and down a nearby street just to upset my children? Someone, like the Mayor or the Attorney General, should do something about this. It’s completely unAustralian

99-less from Fremantle

P.S. And we STILL haven’t received our South Ward voting slips ; have they sent them by pigeon?!

    Not mine. They are still here in the garden

    Oh yes, your carrier doves, an unusual innovation

    You called them maudlin doves before.

    They are going to be doubly insulted now.

    Well I can’t help it if your doves think that they’re pigeons

    Maybe you should give them a mirror sometime

    You can be very stubborn sometimes, Squib!

    If you were a thoroughbred filly, you would definitely need a horsewhisperer.

    Maybe your doves need a dove whisperer
