from The Worst Excuses in the World,
number 5 by Clare Bevan
I'd only left it for two minutes while I built a scale model
of Buckingham Palace out of cheese triangles, when a whole
herd of angry wildebeest stampeded through our back garden,
battered down the kitchen door, and before they vanished
into the shimmering sunset, they trampled my book under
their mighty, thundering hooves, and the dog ate it.
