Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 11th August 2019
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1.
Shock reports are coming in that a rat has been found
dead in his cage. Residents have
expressed amazement that the rat was not being more closely monitored after a
possible incident of self-harm only last month.
His owner, a Miss Emma Royds said ‘I went to the cage and found him
unresponsive. I mean he never actually
talked much, but on this particular day he was lying on the bottom of his pen
with his feet in the air. I suspected
immediately that he was not well. I
tried to revive him, but with no luck.’
Local authorities suspect that there may have been foul play, since the
rodent had been due to stand trial for several offences which may have
implicated people in High Places, including the Lady Mayoress (who happens to
own a Pest Control company).
2.
And it is suspected that the demise of the above
rodent may have led to the extensive local power outages on Friday night. The local Electricity Company blamed the grid
failure on a sudden shut-down of one its feed-in generators, a wheel which is normally
powered by caged rats. Coincidence? Do ursine creatures defecate in areas of high
tree density?
