Ultimatum
"I believe," said his secretary sliding the paper tentatively across the desk, "that these demands are non-negotiable." Tersely nodding his thanks, the PM stared through the drizzle-stained window, teasing the ultimatum with one finger. Sighing in resignation, he read. Three on the list. The first two were reasonable; he had already promised ... well, almost. But the third; how could he, conscious of the dignity of his office ... Her Majesty's Prime Minister ... accede to the last? But there it was, in bright crayon: "For my birthday I want a puppy and a pink princess dress. And you can be the clown."
Thanx Dave for the puppy idea
