Summary: Please bear with me while I explore this style (“It will pass away soon enough” to quote Mr Bennet!)




Puddings and Pumpkins
 
What is the point of
Christmas Puddings
with a sell-by date of
the third of November
 
Are the marketing men
so politically correct
that they don’t want to
offend pumpkins
in September?
 
Standing Out from the Crowd
 
I’m like a banana
on a canary farm –
conspicuous by my
silence

Crossed Wires at the Barbers
 
“Anything for the weekend Sir?”
 the smiling barber said
“Yes, a five litre can of creosote
 to waterproof the shed”

Coming and Going

There goes
a TOYOTA
and here is
ATOYOT a
in reverse!

Short Story
