Made in Taiwan



A moment of inspiration, or a moment of madness? The rush of blood that comes with rash decisions. A brief euphoria from clicking the mouse...followed by time to reflect, or regret...?

So it's done. I've ordered a unicycle. One of the most stupid, pointless and potentially dangerous devices ever invented. How enticing!!

As if they can't shift them quick enough, it arrives next day. A neighbour takes in the parcel unsuspecting. Luckily there's nothing to give away its contents. All it says on the box is "Made in Taiwan."

Once opened, there'll be no looking back. So I linger on the safe side. Last chance to keep the Genie corked!

Made short work of the box....Quickly snapped together the chrome wheel, forks and seat. Thoughts of a circus clown!! So it's done. Within a day of Googling, Unicycle....As if by magic, one has appeared.
