A Date in the Life of a Polymorph

[Note from the author: Um, I can't remember why I wrote this. I don't think I can have been feeling too well. Basically, it's a vehicle for a couple of silly puns, but, well, you're here now...]

The polymorph gazed at his reflection in the mirror. He was currently a small rabbit.

"Hmm, no," he thought, and promptly changed into a ball, then a drill, and then a small bucket.

"Oh dear," he said, "I do look a little pail."

The polymorph sniggered to himself and changed into a book. He took a sideways look at himself in the mirror once again. He wasn't happy with what he saw, and turned into a couple of wig-wams.

"No, this makes me look two tents."

Morphing into a mallet, the polymorph shouted "It's hammer time!", and became a cup, an orange (too fruity), and a small water-collection point (but at only one foot high, he didn't look a tall well).

From downstairs his partner shouted.

"Are you ready, dear? It's nearly time to go."

"I'll be down in a minute, I'm just changing."

The polymorph swapped his current form for that of a frisbee, a plant, a piano and a stapler.

"Bloody hell," he moaned, "I can never decide what to be. And those humans think they have problems deciding what to *wear*!"

Then the polymorph had a flash of inspiration. Quick as you like, he turned into an ICBM.

"Perfect," he thought, "Let's go Cruisin'!"
