Re: Add five words

Another Update!!

no harm would he do to any one of you,he will want many pictures To share with all his friends you may get bored posing. But their prepared to wait hours and hours if necessary although I will be hungry, We will suffer for our passion Bigmas trained; arms turning numb.
The wait is so worthwhile Even so, time moves on...the sun set behind hills, photographers complain about the light and go off for beer, leaving the model sadly standing. Thinkin,
thanks be that's over I'm off for a beer.

Dawned a crisp new day the creatures were frozen solid. As the sun rose, they...wonder what today will bring? swans skated around the lake, Sleet - silky silent snow - shiver!
Aardvark made some hot soup Of nettles and wild herbs, the animals clustererd round hungrily waiting for their share. The spoonbills spooned their's up, The Dippers took theirs to.
I dont fancy aardvaark soup! It isn't Its nettle soup!!! but, the aardvaark made soup!!
French wolves loup the loup.and showed off radio aerials, it was an aerial display!!! What about us meat eaters?
But for you meat eaters........Lemmings fell into the soup-pot as they leapt over the cliff on their annual migration. Mmmm lemming dumpling soup.How can we repay the lemmings?
For their selfless act?! mmm, lemee see now, how! by eating them all up not to waste their sacrifice then covering the pot up so no others fall in.so,aardvaark made lemming soup? With lemons and lentils too It turned into a stew.

The animals began to explore The undergrowth was thick n bushy just right for hide and seek
and as the snow lay on the ground, they all got cold wet feet! Who said snows a Treat!
They left tracks 2" deep which made finding them easy so they built a snowbadger who dyed his hair red (as our little badgerwatcher did).
Can anyone make a fire? Birds flew off for sticks,Brought kindling and rubbing sticks,
potatoes pushed into the embers,and the Swans brought matches. The meercats brought PETROL... the remaining lemmings fled (in panic) (it's only virtual lemming soup!)
The fire warmed them up... Ooooh! nice warm toasty toes, Lighting up the night sky

and down swoops a sparrowhawk grabbing Ardvark by the Throat! t'was butted by a goat,
but carried Aardvark off nevertheless, As sparrowhawk tired, aardvark flapped, flapped, fought, and frightened, flew. Ardvark struggled to get free, Ardvark fell n landed awkwardly... Stop!
Don't kill the Aadvaak...Then suddenly, out of nowhere Is it a bird, is it a plane? No! It's.......
Super-Aadvaak! Ra-Ta-Taaaaa! As he landed on his head, He exploded with a flash.
They Buried him with Dignity... Poor Dignity sharing with aardvaark
The animals decide to explore (animals do lots of exploring!) They said, 'Let's live underground!.. ' Wheres the fun in that? said the big fruit bat
I'd rather see the sky stammered the smallest House fly, Build treehouses said the Monkey
We birds will live a-wing
But underground, the Badger kingdom! BUT, Badger steered the ark !! Now the ark has gone!
Badger needs a second chance? Are Badgers taking over, then? Badgers are already in charge!..only if we let 'em!!!
You do not understand, human! who said I was Human? ( I might be a disgruntled aardvark in disguise!) I am a kindly Badger, You are - but the others? We Badgers are all gentle! We've hollowed out the world. Follow me! I'll show you! And he led them down a winding passageway, that led them into a huge cave,the walls of which sparkled like the inside of a kaelidoscope. Here, we are safe from man. Is anybody safe from man! Secretly sliding safely softly sideways
Monkey said fill in the Hole!!!!
Blindly, Badger, blundering, burrowed behind the hole got bigger because water was pouring in! Badger emerged wet and bedraggled, "Take that!" said the Beavers, We like water-filled holes This is not Animal Farm!! Peace among animals is needed
But all animals are equal! only some more than others, everyone curled up to sleep,
except bats, who kept watch in case aardvark should return. Hello, I'm just a travelling Anteater.The Bats had let darkness escape from a basket in their charge so spent their waking hours jinking around the sky trying to put it backin the basket (folk tale)
A thin place appeared, worm-hole. All the non uk wildlife, Disappeared in a flash,GONE
ohoh.. aliens on the loose! As they disappeared, grey squirrrels, wailed "But we were UK born!" we know no other habitat, let us stay and entertain, the humans in the zoo We do tricks for them all for a few.nuts...and that's only us Wabbers!

Stopped copying then cos you all lost the plot

Re: Add five words

THE LOST PLOT BIT!!

One, two, three four five...Once I caught a fish but he got away again,Now he rides a bicycle
Why can't Badgers ride bycycles? Can if they want to, DO when they want to.Dont really think they do.No, that's great if they can. I'll get them one each. It'll save their little legs getting tired, bless them. (Put me down for four goes!)
Haven' t you heard of World Association of
Bycycling
Badgers
Each
Riding
Solo
thought they were common knowledge!
ooooh clever lad that dave!!!!
watch out for motor cars especially when driven by toads
who don't know the roads Or the highway codes!.....or Badgers....wot cant count!!
But it scanned, you see! I can count to three! ah! the all important metre!
Shake-his-spear would cry It hurts, oh it hurts....If it does not scan!
And Badger swished her skirts,
shake-his-spear IS crying... (lol.. love it Dave)
down the hill she ran...You see! That needed-'as'. she ripped half her petticoats
Oh, Agh! Oooo! The pain! She scratched her stripy nose!
And said, you can't write poetry Without such rules as those! Help! Now Kymba's chasing me!
to hear the plaintiff cry..Kymba, mind that badgerwatcher poet
it isnt poetry, it's prose!!!
of Owls just passing by,
makes you stand and sigh
for time that's passing by.
That's poetry, that is!
A four line stanza, even
Quick! Get him! He's writing couplets! He must be stopped!
Sorry! into my head it popped

Quick! Spike him with similes as sharp as Hedgehog spines, Net him with cobweb metaphores!
The puzzled animals stood amazed to watch the warring poets commas and colons wizzing by wounds inflicted with misplaced apostrophes.
Exclamation marks wielded like truncheons! Question marks like shepherd's crooks
They struggled, locked "in parenthesis"the phrasing out of kilter

Fetch a bucket of water so we can separate them if they lose their syntax and accidently split their infinitives!
