The Gardeners Rest #3

[Finedon.Dandy]

....no sooner had the red mite made contact with the wabbit stew it went *fizzz* and disappeared beneath the surface. Then came the sound of frantic slurping. Everyone stared in amazement as...............

[MaureenHall]

Snadger drained the dish to the very last drop, licking the dish so clean it didn't even need washing up

[Finedon.Dandy]

"Well I can see someone round here needs a lesson in manners" said Wellie. A show of several hands went into the air followed by a chorus of "Oooh me too please" from.....

[Pumpkin Becki]

Pumpkin Becki would have put her hand up too, but she was currently balanced at the very top of a tall ladder, trying to fix armfuls of mistletoe to a hook in the ceiling...there was a dangerous wobble...a small squeal...and then...

[HeyWayne]

Pumpkin Becki realised that the squeal had come from HeyWayne as it was he she was trying to attach the mistletoe to. Now adorning a marvellous pair of mistletoe earings, HeyWayne...

[Flummery]

.... sang this haunting refrain -

For years a fairy queen I've been,
For years I foiled the demon king,
But alas, I'm getting on,
The years have flown somehow,
And it seem that Fairy Snowdrop
Isn't wanted now.

Altogether now!

Nobody loves a Fairy when she's 40.
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old.
She may have still her magic powers,
But that is not enough.
They like their bit of magic
From a younger bit of stuff.
When you have lost your little fairy dimples
And the mothholes in your frock let in the cold,
You stand there shouting "What-ho!"
But they all pass by your grotto.
No-one loves a fairy when she's old.

[HeyWayne]

Then piskie parped up that Fairy Snowdrop was indeed wanted, in at least three seperate countries for crimes against...

[Finedon.Dandy]

the mistletoe fairy.

[Pumpkin Becki]

The ladder and Pumpkin Becki finally parted company, but instead of being caught by some handsome hero...

[andrewo]

...she fell into the arms of a big brute with a moustache that tickled her toes...

[Nicos]

"Ah haaaa" he cried sweeping her across the room...unfortunately he was carrying her upsidedown and her hair was dangling on the floor
...was that tinkling under his cloak something she should be wary of?...or was it the Xmas supply of XXX chillied rhubarb schnapps????

[JennieAtkinson]

Meanwhile Haywayne in the corner, struggling somewhat in his tutu and fairy crown .......

[Nicos]

"oh come on Jennie- you're the panto Queen ( well not Queen as in Queen, but as in Queen as in Queen- if you get the jist....)....just how on earth am I supposed to cavort across the stage - let alone the pub- dressed like this???" pleaded Wayne

[Flummery]

Jennie - look out behind you!.......

[Finedon.Dandy]

Ohhhhh no she isnt!..........
