Horatio hailed from Hull
the guy was incredibly dull
He polished his nose
and painted his toes
and now his diary is full!

I warned them!
They had been practising the same song all evening.
I told the conductor that if I heard that song one more time they would regret it.
He just laughed.
He raised his baton, the choir took a breath and the first notes filled the air.
They’d all be singing a new song now!

There was a young lady from Ealing
who hung upside down from the ceiling
She dressed really random
whilst riding a tandem
singing opera with consummate feeling

The crime had remained unsolved for 40 years.
Someone had stolen the largest ballpen, as verified in the Guinness Book of World Records.
They’d left the shaft and ink sleeve propped against the Eiffel tower.
Now the giant ball had been found. Hidden in plain sight all these years!

There was a young lady from Brent
whose leg was incredibly bent
she walked with a crutch
but it didn’t do much
she invariably came as she went

There was a young lady from Ayr
who wore brussels sprouts in her hair
Her hat was a cabbage
which made her look savage
and my how the townsfolk did stare!
From a huge poll of what to do next, after A to Z, and back, of animals and insects, I held a competition. The winner got to choose my subject matter for the next year.
Actually, that’s a bit of a lie! I just decided to use Village and Town names in the UK. X and Z may prove to be a problem, but what the hell!

Aardvarks have very poor sight
and eat many termites each night
50,000 they say
then they sleep through the day
after washing them down with a Sprite.
(they don’t really drink Sprite, but the 50,000 is accurate!)
Well, I’ve gone from A to Z and back again with animal, birds, and insect limericks. What to do next week? Answers please on the back of a £50 note!

A bat who was cute, small, and black
flew to London one night, then flew back
Halfway through the flight
she had such a fright
when encountering a flying Big Mac!

My camel is really quite small
because he has no humps at all
He can’t store lots of water
the way that he oughta
so buys his supplies at a stall
Guess the name of my camel?
Humphrey!
(that’s twice in 4 weeks that I’ve used oughta)

Lost In Space
Close call with that meteor last week!
Yes, but have you seen this weird craft under the tree? There’s a canister just by the open door. Let’s look inside!
What’s this? A short story by the looks of it. Written by Peter’s pondering.
So, that’s why it wasn’t included in the roundup!

It seems there may be a few stories stuck in that canister!
