Mumbo Jumbo

I think it’s all nonsense of course.  We, friends from holiday, sitting in a Teashop, with Afternoon Tea, idly talking about our favourite animals from safari.  Kenyan tea leaves left in the bottom of English China.  We joke and swill them about.  The passing proprietor offers Her Gift.  “That’s very clear,” she says, “it’s a horse.  Is a horse important to you?  It does have rather a long neck though.”  It wasn’t a horse, it was a giraffe.
