Starburst Flipsters

Ahhh, the life of a temp huh? There’s nothing quite like stepping into someone’s metaphorical shoes for a week to make you feel at home.

I love flipsters They make me smile To find a packet I’d hop a whole mile. I eat them for lunch And also for tea And sometimes I eat them On my grandpa’s knee.
