Perthville’s renowned Foster Parents have been inundated recently with foster children to look after.

The patriarch of the town’s only foster family was seen at the station today ready to catch a train with two foster children in tow. Onlookers marvelled at the touching sight of the loving trio.

They could never have realised that the train would depart without the father figure, carrying just the children with one-way tickets to the new train’s destination, Bali.

When asked later why he did it, their father said the stress of handling an ever increasing coterie of children had become too great. When asked how he did it without the children suspecting anything, he explained that he had sung  them the Seekers’ song several nights in a row before the event and did it again on the day, causing them to fall asleep in the carriage.

“I’ve always liked that song, never more than now,” said the Foster Parent.
