A Day in the Wine Barrel

Don't you just love those days where you do nothing else but sit in your father's old empty wine barrel with a good book and a lighter?   Ah, yes nothing beats reading the pages of a book in the light of the flames that are rapidly consuming it and churning it into nothing but literary ashes.  Hum ho! The best part is always when the small bit of aged wine that got left at the bottom of the barrel catches fire, spreading the flaming joy throughout the whole cylinder! 

It was just a shame that Gorgo, my charming pet Gorilla was absent at the manor today.  We used to have jolly good times calling up plumbers only to throw burning barrels at them when they arrive. 









Here's the lovely cartoon depiction that nice Japanese man made for me so I can always remember the good times.  I haven't a clue what the dickens "Donkey Kong" means though.
