Bad Altitude.    


I have never been to a zoo
and not because I have
beast a phobia either!

I've been to the RSPCA
where I adopted a dog
and I sponsor a donkey

At the sanctuary back in
Ireland where abandoned
animals die in dignity.

My father used to say
that every chicken that
ever died, died in debt.

I think he was referring
to the damage they did
to his vegetable garden.

He never forgave them.
I wonder if Marius got
into the hanging baskets?
