Believe it or not , our waterfont roundsman has been
medically branded an amphibian , a frog ! The strange saga began when he again experienced extreme pain in his
right leg , as if impaled by the tusk of a narwhale , or attacked by enraged
Moby Dick ,and flown to Townsville University Hospital in an Italian helicopter
.
There he moaned about the air conditioning , demanded heaps
of blankets , no doubt causing the prison laundry which services the
hospital to rock around the clock on a double shift, and was
diagnosed by nursing staff and medicos
as a"cold frog."When he donned a beanie at night a nearby
patient , who sleeps without blankets, called him in an Eskimo. Ha,
ha.
Under the influence of drugs , he vows and declares Frosty the Snowman
was standing by a rail of his bed early one morning
!!!!
On the positive side, as his fame spreads as a relative of celebrity frog Kermit , a dateless , desperate and sight impaired princess seeking Prince
Charming , visiting the hospital, might kiss him,
probably resulting in an outbreak of warts on her
lips.
Despite the fact that that his career as
the only shipping reporter north of Gabo Island keeps him busy,he is seriously thinking of moonlighting as a MKR food writer, like the talented frog , Gourmet George,who penned a lively tucker column for the Darwin Sun newspaper,named after the Hong Kong Sun, the column title inspired by a frog in the office toilet who tickled female staff members when they sat down , causing them to scream .
