Story Update!!!!!!
Badger licked his muddy feet cos they were all honeyed, Honey stolen from the bees!
Badger's clean feet made tracks,To the peanut butter sarnies! a diet which,tis said
Can drive a
Badger wild!...He met up with a hedhehog..He met up with a
Hedgehog. Hmmm thats two
Hedgehogs he muttered!! With lust in his eye,He approached the first
Hedgehog to get a cool reception, both were a little prickly, Ego truly trampled he left Returning to his honey,...honey and peanut butter,yummie! His Honey was his girl, and she was a woodpecker
First one had a Stutter ! of one sort or another.
A sea voyage is the answer, He cried! I'll build an ark! But not the Cutty sark!! He declared with a bark. Friends will fill my ark,in twos except for the lark!
Poor lark! Why all alone? OK OK lark times two..
Should we take some humans? With one accord NO! Except, perhaps, for food! (Stroking his chin thoughtfully)
They will have to steer us, Could elephants use their ears? For hearing and for steering Giraffes would be the lookouts!
Beavers can man the rudder, dolphins will push us along
All the birds can entertain us,and carry the ropes aloft. whales could be our escorts.
Sharks to keep us safe,mostly safe from other sharks, Or
Badgers steering other arks.
Or maybe some belligerent coots Or herons wearing thigh-high boots,
Swans sitting in Captains chair leading front the Front. Hippopotomi hauling up the anchor
porpoises playing in the wake. Can we help Hissed Snake? You are in charge of coiling,
But keep the mongoose hidden! We'll set sail at dawn! Shiver me timbers! cries parrot. Wandering wavelets wash whitened wellies, while wonderful whales wallow wetly,Where walruses wear weatherproof woolies, waiting wordlessly while warblers wail
Have you set sail yet? Yes, in snow at dawn, Anyone know where we're going? Am I to late then?
I go in search of the great potato, said
Badger! Why a Potato They cried!..to do the Monster Mash? Oh that was soooooooo bad!!!!!!!!! But good with melted butter..We need cows for that
I'm not sailing this thing all the way to the....Isle of Wight, said
Badger, lets go somewhere more exotic a place we can be free! Is there such a place?...Orkney will do for me
and introduce an alien species? elepants and giraffes in Orkney?? to taste the local brew
and dance the night away. The Outer Hebrides is cool! You get to stroke Deer, Dear who?
Badger said crossly.Putting on his deerstalker hat! & picking up his rifle! and shooting at the stars....Oh look! he got one!!...The meteor fell to earth....fell in the sea.. splish splash,turning into a star fish... lighting the depths with silver which awoke a sleeping creature, that thrashed its slimey tail and roared, 'Who has awoken.....the dragon of the waves?
Oh No!!!!! Shrieked the fish as they swam for cover!
Tiny crabs, like babies toenails, scurried to hide in seaweed trees..starfish tiptoed on trembling tentacles, flat fish covered in weeds, Eels slipped Silently under slimey Rocks!
The dragon left his scaly bed yawned and stretched his wings,Fish, which, while he slept
had thought his mouth a cave swam hastily out and away.
Meanwhile back onboard the Ark! the animals roundly scolded
Badger for carelessly waking the dragon..It wasnt me! cried
Badger....I can only count to three! x2 You can't count! said ratty..can ratty swim the seas? He likes to watch the bees do cartwheels in the trees
until they all get dizzy and fall down in a heap!.....Compost heap! On the Ark?
Of course - we must not...pollute the sea with waste,heap is needed for worms In their various forms....The beetles are getting jealous They want dung of their own! Camel dung has been provided...............
