No sooner had the sky awakened, festooned with balloons, red, yellow, orange, purple, brown and green, did the moon fall into dereliction, the once dark night sky now a pageantry of glorious enormity. The man in the hat, awaking with a start, rubbed the night’s sin from his eyes, his face blanched, and exclaimed ‘never in my life have I awakened to such a glorious morning sky’. No sooner had the man in the hat stepped foot out of his lean-to than he notice a man in a hooligan’s hat walking sidelong across the sideways, the sun shining brilliantly on his earflapped head. ‘Never in my life have I seen such a strange spectacle’ groused the man in the hat, the sun shimmering like a gold coin. The Kangaroo twins came from a long line of philanthropists known for their generous spirit and generous generosity. Their great-great grandfather Boleslaw smelted nickel, donating the profits to the Fryderyk orphanage, home to halfwit children and imbeciles. Ludmila, the twins great aunt, owned a handbag franchise that sold sow’s ear handbags to dolts and halfwits, bequeathing the proceeds to a home for the downtrodden and dim. Their great uncle Zygmunt made millions on hedge funds, donating his commissions to the Podhale asylum for the criminally inane.
