Read Ted Hughes' 'Work and Play' first.




Anyways, here it is:



Dear Diary...

I was flying over the beach today and I saw some of those two-legged things without any wings...
I think they're called people.
They were just laying down on the sand.
It seems like they're doing magic tricks.
Most of them are turning red but a few are turning golden-brown.
I wonder if they're doing it for that thing where they rattle boxes with pictures and words on them.
What do they call it?
Charity, I think.
They can't enjoy it!

Yeh, I know it's crappy, I thought you'd like to see how I am when I'm forced to do something is all.

um, a link to somewhere were we can actually read Work and Play would be nice.
