Gardeners Rest #6 (2011)

[Florence Fennel]

There came a rustling, scratching sound from the cellar steps and through the door, out came

Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats,
Brown rats, black rats, grey rats, tawny rats,
Grave old plodders, gay young friskers,
Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins,
Cocking tails and pricking whiskers,
Families by tens and dozens,
All out for revenge on whoever intended playing Bat the Rat

Quick, round up the cats ...

[Florence Fennel]

Oh dear, I don't think that one looks up to the job.

[Florence Fennel]

Now that's more like it. Trouble is ....

[Nicos]

Nicos was sat quietly looking up at the wrinkly mistletoe- chuckling to herself at the happy crowd of GYO nutters bantering along together , making plans and more plans for the year ahead.
"Pity it's 12th Night tomorrow and all these decorations have to come down....I'll need to ask for some volunteers tomorrow ...."
