Deliah was getting fed up. The children had used her as a door stop for the last time.

Bradbury lay idly and calmly bobbing up and down in the bath waiting for his next victim to enter.

Bryan wasn’t built to be a hider but he was the best seeker in the entire ocean.

Desmond always like to dress up like it was the days of yore, when the knights roamed free and his ancestors were the trusty steeds.

“By the twelfth day of Christmas my true love had sent to me:

12 mangy ex circus fleas attempting to bounce on an old drum
11 bag pipers, out of tune. Well 10 pipers and one speciality chicken squeezer.
10 blocks of lard. Apparently he couldn’t fit the lords in a box.
9 ladybirds doing the river dance in cowboy outfits or something like that.
8 maids frantically milking one poor cow.
7 swans in watery disarray.
6 geese to lay me a drive (which wasn’t even but quite useful)
5 unusual gold braclets.
4 holes in a pie I think should have been game pie.
3 drunk hens in fancy dress.
2 mutant ninja pigeons
And
A partridge held hostage in a tree.

So, on the thirteenth day, as a loving surprise, i sent him a huge trumping mouse in a box. See how he likes it.”

“I’ve got a feeling the bloke who hired us has run out of money for his true love. I’m sure I heard him say he was sending over 12 drummers to drum not all of us fleas on the one drum.”

“I’d just escaped the kitchen pot and thought I was safe when one of the eleven very short sighted pipers picked me up as a replacement to his bag pipe. It was such a surprise I almost layed an egg.”

“I say what ho! I saw a chap that wanted to give his true love a 10 lords a leaping and I said well, we here are all lords, why don’t you present us. Although, he didn’t go for it as he couldn’t fit us all in the box. Damn shame.”

Down a the Insect Ho-Down the 9 Lady(birds) were dancing a fine line dance for some lords true love.
