A Betoota man has made peace with his slow shuffle towards the grave by realising he finally enjoys and appreciates things that are ‘pistachio flavour’.
At age 29, Flight Path District local Harley Button has come to terms with being in the autumn of his lifetime as hairs fall from his head like dry and copper foliage drifting ever airily downward.
However, no fungus or seedlings have sprouted from the undergrowth of Button’s fallen youth as the once young man has yet to spread his seed and now tends to get comforting if not insincere smiles when he tells people ‘maybe kids someday’.
And yet, Button has found joy in his age-demographic purgatory by exploring the new nuances of his refined palette that has matured like the refined characteristics of a Godfather-era Barollo barrel.
At the time of writing, Button may not quite understand much of that last paragraph but until then is ready to quell his mature appetite with a nice bowl of pistachio flavoured ice cream.
“I accidently bought it thinking it was choc mint but this is so much better!” stated Button, hooked up to a lie detector test that confirmed he was in fact telling the truth.
“It’s so good, you wouldn’t even know it’s dairy free which is good because the old gut doesn’t appreciate lactose too much these days.”
“Oh! That reminds me, my Inner Health Plus!”
