Field guide No. 214
The orange committee
Motion carried, peel pending.
A ring of split oranges sits around a white teapot on a farmhouse table, each one opened like a mouth mid-sentence. The teapot has the floor.
Field noteSplit oranges can be arranged round a teapot by anyone with a knife. The quorum is implied.
Also possible, also breaking category
Clamshell cornflakes at breakfastClams in milk instead of flakes: wrong breakfast, perfectly possible clams.
Shell accommodationHermit crabs moved into shells long before anyone with a staircase did. Scale is the only holdup.
Downhill unspoolingThread is white and laid in lanes; so are pistes. The groomers have merely taken the hint.
Saltwater etiquetteCrabs lift things all the time; waitering is the new part. Unusual career change, nothing more.
