Icing Haunting Cake-Guzzling Crocodile


Illegal icing haunting the cake-guzzling crocodile,
relentlessly keeping the reptile awake, got into the
bathtub with the story of Cyril Bonhamy, the only
safe place as the kids took the laptop hostage, on
finishing the book the crocodile stormed out in self
-righteous indignation, determined to chronicle her
saurian sorrows electronically, chasing kids off

The crocodile has already read about a surprise
party featuring cake; a little boy playing detective,
in this story by Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy the whole
English police force is depicted wearing Father
Christmas camouflage to catch Christmas Crooks,
the image amazing the crocodile, making her wish
to join Cyril Bonhamy in his little world

Printed in nice, big letters, easy to read, time to move
on to the next book, leave the small printed book till
last, waiting for those reading glasses, between them
and wearing sunglasses, the crocodile will resemble
an owl on a 24-hour basis….

Jonathan Cape, 1981
