From the day of his
birth, Martin's parents perpetuated the myth that he – and
later his brother Jeremy – were delivered by Stork. The
stork was a wooden effigy on the roof of the Stork Nursing
Home, until it came to its demise and was smashed to
smithereens on the driveway.
As Martin grew up the
Stork came to symbolise all that was to do with begetting
babies and any direct mention of such a forbidden subject was
swept under the carpet. Unable to dismiss this feathered
creature, it became part of Martin's nightmares. His brother
Jeremy and his best friend Stanley were non-believers.
Martin's love life
was initially plagued by two provocative identical twins, that
is until they moved away. It was Helen, the beautiful girl
from the High with whom Martin then became smitten. Unknown to
them both it was a Dutch Stork, a wanderer from the
Netherlands who came to plague their lives. Would they be able
to escape it, or would it become an Albatross around their
necks?
A
humorous story for those of us who were hoodwinked into
believing that there was a Stork and that it delivered us in
white nappies.
