Overdue





The tea lady is about to throw her annual "overdue" afternoon tea party.  This marathon tea drinking event is an amnesty for all those slow coaches who’ve borrowed books off the writer and won’t return them until they’re given a virtual kick up the backside.
Each year the tea lady threatens to introduce cash fines for overdue books, each year the writer comes up with excuses, “It’s not that unusual for someone to take three years to read a book.”
Each year the tea lady fumes. “Cash fines! Cash fines! Cash fines!”
Each year the writer loans out more books.
