Car Insurance
We were walking along a coastal cliff path and he was talking about car insurance.
Past the mauve poppy. “I found a good deal for my car insurance.”
Past the blue argus butterfly. “So, I transferred from my old provider.”
Past the sweet pea. “I’ve saved £250.”
Past the flattened grass where the rabbits run. “And the no-claims bonus is better.”
Past hundreds of dandelions. “I’ve got a nose for a good offer.”
Sunlight reflecting off the sea.
We were walking along 5-mile beach and he was talking about his job.
Past the mermaid’s purse. “It looks like I’m going to get the promotion I told you about.”
Past splintered spider-crab shells. “I deserve it as I’ve worked my butt off.”
Past the sea buckthorn. “It’s good to be recognised for the work I put in.”
Past the washed-up smooth hound with no eyes. “In five years’ time I could be head of the south-eastern office.”
Underneath circling terns. “My boss said I’m a key part of the team.”
The waves rolling to the shore.
