Santa surprised
by delivering this set of Red Fox Ink wooden
POLI BLOCKS–Australian
Labor Prime Ministers-which you arrange
to make the
complete body of either
Ben Chifley, Gough Whitlam , Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd
and Julia Gillard .
When a seven- year- old great –granddaughter called , carrying a
jar with yet another
tooth which had
fallen out , which she intended to cash in with the Tooth Fairy,
she was keen to arrange the blocks. Her
grandmother started to teach
her the names of the
PMs, concentrating on
their faces. She quickly
remembered Ben Chifley because
she has a schoolmate called Benjamin ; when it came
to Gough Whitlam , she often paused until
grandma coughed –Gough!- Whitley? No.– Whitling ? ;
it became easy to identify Bob Hawke in the line out because
grandma flapped her
wings like a bird of prey ; in
the case of Paul Keating , she got his surname mixed up –Keatley? Julia Gillard
was easily identified as
was Kevin O 7 , because he was wearing a
T-shirt with the message .
A
message on the package
said the creator was tempted to
include both of Kevin’s faces but then
Ben would have missed out .
The great Ben Chifley would
almost certainy turn out the
light on the hill if he were alive today, not wanting to
ignite the explosive smell
wafting across
the nation
from the party
in NSW .
