Wrote this last week for another

leecetheartist drabble (or flashfic - that seems a point for debate) competition. Now the winner

pedanther has been announced I can publish my little effort. To be honest I had trouble keeping it clean as per instructions.

Must include the words "That's no unicorn."

Suits you sir

"How about this one sir? Best in the yard, only one lady owner, used to take it out on Sundays. Latish model, goes like the clappers, all factory-standard trim."

"The horn looks a bit wobbly."

"All in perfect working order, I assure you sir."

"And look at those feet, and that tail. That's no unicorn; that's a backyard horse kit job."

"The genuine article, I assure you sir. Half price, today only. Fancy a test drive?"

"No thanks."

"Your loss sir. How about this one then? Last year's most popular compact model basilisk."

"That's a chicken."
