The scanner's about the size of a toaster, maybe just a little longer,

Maybe it came out during deliberations or maybe he decided to bring it out himself.

Even more important maybe, or equally more important at least, is they don't have to scrap for a living.

[The Toaster]
A silver-scaled dragon with jaws flaming red
sits at my elbow and toasts my bread.
I hand him fat slices, then one by one
he hands them back when he sees they are done.

Wayne brings with him a wealth of experience and a fine reputation and I am confident that he will make a powerful contribution to English National Ballet and to the British dance world.

Never put a sock in a toaster.
