Dear Bill and Bailey Circus,
Owing to a contretemps involving the old man, a mobile phone dropped down the toilet and withdrawal of treat privileges, I am running away from home to join the circus. I have excellent organisational skills so I was thinking “ring master”. I will require a Winnebago to live in, prawns on demand and a velvet cushion to sit on.

Dear Toffee,
Thank you for your application, if that is what it was, but circuses in the UK are no longer allowed to use or employ wild animals. Therefore, we reluctantly have to decline your application.

Dear Bill and Bailey Circus,
I am a domesticated feline with impeccable manners, so I take exception to being referred to as a wild animal. At least I wasn’t wild before I got your letter but I am now. In fact, I am livid.

And that is why cats have claws.
ReplyDeleteExactly! You are very astute!
DeleteOh noes, Toffee!
ReplyDeleteIf you need a new job, then maybe apply at Buckingham Palace, or perhaps the Prime Minister's digs needs a 2nd resident feline.
The King and the Prime Minister would both be lucky to have me!
DeleteYou should move to the USA, life is always a circus here sweet Toffee!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! I'm sure it's not much better here in the UK!
DeleteYou wouldn't want to be in a circus Toffee. XO
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right - it sounds like hard work!
DeleteI think you would make a great ringmaster! You exude panache! Especially in that hat
ReplyDeleteYou're wild in all the best ways. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's cold. We think you should tear up that Big Top in protest and leave some "gifts" in those three rings!
