Love 'trees undressing', Sue.

ANOTHER PROBABLY MEANING LESS STORY BUT THIS TIME IN REVERSE

Zeus's yearly x-ray was very unnerving. The sister required queueing periodically, often nine monthslate. Kelly John insisted her grand father evaded detection constantly before arrest.

A baffling case Detective Ensor, for Georgina had injected jellifying kaolin last month, now our prime questioning requires Stiff Tony undergoing very widespread xenotransplantation... yes, Zebra!

(I saw this as a case of reading between the lines.)

Black lines or white lines, Len?
Excellent invention and verbal
dexterity.
All the best, JohnK

Thanks JohnK. Quite an interesting challenge; I think all the entries are good. Regards, Len

Ages before Christmas, deep echoes fill gaudy halls, idiots jingle, kids linger menacingly neath open parades, queues run snaking throughout, uttering violent whispers - "Xmas, you're zero"

Wow! Topical, grammatical, sensible and expressive of very laudable sentiments. Brilliant! If you have the time and energy, do have a go at the 'stops and starts' exercise using a Christmas theme - I'd be very interested to see what emerges!
