Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

It's so hard to get good tutors these days isn't it.

I will be having another go on monday when all the work is finished and the household is back to normal again, the new bathroom is gorgeous, it would be a mortal sin to have a crap in there now.

I know, but, when you've got to go, you've got to Go.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Mr Crapper wouldn't agree with ya - and who was it who said "blessed is he who craps - for crap is the fruit of the earth"?

I wouldn't mind betting, if you strip away all the wealth, accidentally accumulated, providing a basic Human commode-ity, to the masses, "Crapper", was just a "Regular" Guy.

The Lady Lies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-WDQxlVzgE

The man steps out in the moonlight
At the sound of a scream from below.
He thinks he is a warrior
So he picks up his sword and goes.

From the mouth of the monster
He rescues the maiden fair.
But we know she's a demon
Come to lure him to demon's lair.

Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.

"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."

And though his body bids him
To enter in with her,
There was something in her manner
That his mind could not ignore.

Also it is whispered
In the kingdom far and wide,
To beware a little cottage
In the forest in a glade.

For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.

"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like.

Come to my garden,
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
You can't resist me,
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."

"So glad you could make it
We had everything arranged.
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."

Some men never listen,
And others never learn,
But why this man did as he did
Only he will ever know.

He knew he was walking
Into a waiting trap,
Neatly set up for him
With a bait so richly wrapped.

So he went inside there to take on what he found
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."

That's a long one Spiitola..........

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

About six minutes I do believe, just think how valuable they will be at the end, retrospectively, a post best skipped.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

A fate befitting all of mine

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Yes Gummy, we've come a long way since the tenement days of yore, when the silence of the night would be broken with the odd shout of "Bring up the bucket Nellie". Then you had the gent's toilets in the city centre with six foot high urinals and the word 'Shanks" staring you in the face, who was Mr Shanks anyway? was he a rival of Crapper? Or was he the chap who married a horsed faced woman, hence the saying "Shank's Mare", don't mind me, I'm only pulling your chain.
