Skiddaw, wishing I was up there looking down

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye.......

I saw Lazlo putting his boots on,

The wrong way round.

...and he was singing a song about elephants....

Where’s he going at this hour I wondered . . .

...so I decided to join him. The singing...

. . got on my friggin nerves after a while . . .

..and as I walked towards him, I shouted...

Why are you walking backwards?

You’re slow enough going forwards!!🤣

“I’m practicing my line dancing!” he replied...

No! You misheard! I said ‘She’s from Preston’!. . .

Meanwhile, on the road to Garstang.....

I spotted LaurieC putting his boots on . . . .

....I noticed a big multicoloured hot air balloon...

. . . just floating up above him . . . .

In the balloon was a mouse and rabbit....

...playing game of hide & seek.

The rabbit jumped up and banged his head on....

a very large tree trunk and he said..

a cloud . . ‘ I love clouds’ he said . . . .

...particularly cirrocumulus, cirrus, cirrostratus, altocumulus, altostratus, and nimbostratus...

...but the mouse wasn’t listening as he was..

...heating up his Pot Noodles...

. . . .don’t eat that rubbish! Your hair will disappear! . . .

...said the hairless bunny!...

You're a rabbit not a hare, he replied!!😋

But I’ve dreamt all my life of being a hare, and I heard, from a fairy in a teapot.....

...that 'hand that do dishes...'

[hands not hand]!

that some women can't speak only eight words!!! 🙂........

So she laughed and laughed at that man...

who'd eaten too many pot noodles!!! 🙂.........

Until too her hands became really really soft . . .

...and no good for blowing up balloons!

Chapter 2

Meanwhile, in the village of Notworthbotherinwith, a large....

green blob rolled across the village green

- the Incredible Hulk had lost his bearings -

'Take some iron tablets with your Viagra,' suggested one of the villagers, 'then you'll spin round and point north.'

Or point at the Verbose man in Surrey . . . .

who can talk at 19 to the octet

Whilst drinking beer through a straw (paper one!)

As it overflowed out of a village pub . . . . .

where the landlady didn't know what to do

But all was not lost! A spaceship appeared....

'They're all barking mad here,' thought the Incredible Hulk, as he paddled in the beer.

M1960: you’re only supposed to use a MAX of 8 words! Do keep up!lol

....and in the spaceship, there was a funny...

...which Jo1 had made earlier!😉 It tasted like....

Miss T: Sorry - I didn't read the post carefully enough 🤔 - I wondered why I was being called verbose, and I understand Walking On's (19 to the octet) comment now!

It tasted like ... 'Smash'

. . . not peeled them with their metal knives then . . . .

...Edward Scissorhands appeared as if by magic...

...and chop chop chopped his way through the....

green blob which was actually R1chard's jacket

...before settling down to that pint of beer!

Have you all had enough now or should there be a chapter 3? 🤔

I've already disgraced myself 😮

Oh pleaseee a Chapter 3, it's sooo funny

A great idea, Miss T. Am looking forward to the next installment🙂

Chapter 3...

Next door, in the land of green jackets....

...at the beautiful golf course in Augusta, Georgia...

....a happy hippopotamus wandered across the fairway! He....

sought a gnu, for a song for two

....tripped over some balls....

...took a dip in the water and saw...

....a yellow submarine heading straight towards him!....

"Gug, gug ajoo" sang the walrus

...before realising he was in different Beatles' film!

Meanwhile on a midnight train Georgia . . . .

had something on her mind but couldn't...

Find her over 60’s railcard so . . . . .

...she hitched a lift with a tall dark...

... troglodyte who was learning to read and count ...

. . . so he could replace Boris should need arise . . . .

...for which the Karloffs were grateful for. But...

, as she bent to get in the car...

. . . . she heard a twang . . . .

she thought Duane Eddy was back but no -

... and thought, 'I really must lose some weight' ...

... and wondered if Geordie, Mancunian, Liverpudlian or Surrey...

...but realised she'd got order of sentences mixed!

. . . .she felt an eerily familiar draught . . .

- it's that beer back again she thought -

. . . she straightened her straw (paper one) . . .

...and wondered about blowing up a balloon, so...

she took a deep breath and...

... Bang! ...

“Oh my goodness!” She said. “What the heck.....

...ah, only a car exhaust backfiring. Thank goodness...

Put it away, you'll frighten the

troglodyte and the Incredible Hulk ...

...who were playing I spy with my little....

..both of whom were cowering in the corner!

[Back to the Two Ronnies, answering the question asked before!!!!]

...pony. Or was it Barbie doll?...

both climbing mam tor without any

iron tablets or Viagra to navigate with ...

. . . . I’ll improvise and use my useless GPS device she . . .

..pondered, else dust off my compass and...

🔝 ɥʇɹou puıɟ oʇ ʎɹ⊥

. . . behave like a ‘normal’ OD person . . . .

...like Harry Styles and Niall Horan, otherwise...

...this story will become even more nonsensical! Let’s.....

. . . Call the whole thing off.. (little tap dance) . .

...so Flopsy Mopsy Cottontail and Peter all went to bed, ready for another day.

. . Cause they hadn’t got the memo. . . .

...rable train to Georgia!

It's been a hard day's night

Hi Mitch!🙂 I think our story has come to an end now but it was fun...& very daft...while it lasted!😀
Thanks to everyone who was bonkers enough to join in, I’m sure it raised a few laughs.🙂
Back to the drawing board for me, so watch out!😉
T.x

Miss T, a pity because was loving it! Thank you for coming up with the idea. I look forward to your next challenge!🙂

Andy, I too was enjoying it but I got the impression that others were getting a bit bored🤔 Maybe I’ll start another one in a week or so.
Thanks for your feedback!🙂
T.x

Yes, many thanks Tracey, and everyone else too😀. I can count to eight now, but I don't think I'll be getting a job as an author anytime soon! 😮

Story Time Returns!😋
Same rules as before....
Max of 8 words per line...
Here we go...(again😉)

One sunny day, I walked along the beach....

... with a lifeguard called ... 😮

...an enormous seashell that...

we raced towards. When we reached it....

... a large crab emerged, waving its ...

very large pincer at us!😮 “Go away!” it....

... said, 😈 or I'll attach this to your ...

I forgot the speech marks! 😮

... said, 😈 "or I'll attach this to your ... "

big toe!”😂
Bruce flexed his muscles & lunged...

...thinking not a good idea at his age...

... because he might injure his ...

...pride as he realised that...

....he hadn’t done his stretches that morning!🤕
“Oh!”.....

…pulled a mussel, or was it a...

... mermaid 😍 who had suddenly ...

…morphed into Daryl Hannah or was it…

... just wishful thinking? By now, ...

... other crabs were getting ready to ...

...go out for the evening on a...

...date with some salad dressings that...

… were hoping to get to a thousand islands…

... but they couldn't count that far, so ...

...they legged it quick!😂 Bruce & I resumed....

... our romantic stroll, but he was now limping ...

...and wondered if that Baywatch audition was a...

... visit a doctor to get some ...

…advice about “Sheila”, his pet-name for his…

... mother-in-law, who also happened to be ...

...on the beach, keeping her beady eye on...

... embarrass her by revealing ...

...I knew Bruce had a penchant for...

... that was nothing compared to his obsession for ...

…collecting postage stamps with sea views and…

... naughty 'seaside' postcards with pictures of ...

...wombats waltzing on the beach in Worthing!
Besides....

…bunnies bounding on the bridge in Bakewell, alongside…

…Llamas lolloping languidly in Leek…

... and flirtatious frogs fraternizing on the Folkestone foreshore ...

!😂😂
Anyway, Bruce & I carried on walking, despite....

... his limp and "Sheila" having managed to ...

...suppress a fit of the giggles because...

... she had been tickled by a large ...

...jellyfish!😮 The tickling turned to stinging, so she...

…thought about contacting The Police but decided…

... against it, because of her recent conviction for ...

..stalking!😮 She went home & left Bruce & I....

Oops, sorry...I obviously can’t count!!😊
😂

Miss T: hi T. is that ONE line each ?
I would not worry as others can't read 😎

...fish & chips and mushy...

... romantic music being played by the ...

...Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and...

what a load of codswallop THAT was!😋
We....

... time flies! By now, it was almost ...

...time for the next episode of 'Bondi Rescue'...

... and Bruce didn't want to miss seeing ...

... very excited when he realised that ...

Perhaps singing…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbJBnkRkFo…will get us in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vOUYry_5Nw for at least one and then …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dIjutUhVNo
🙂

...oops, wrong thread!!!!!

... he had drunk too much coffee 😮 and needed ...

…to burn some energy in order to sleep…👍

... but his injury and limp meant that he ...
