A Materialistic Bore

The Boring-est Bore that makes my ears sore Is the sad person who's so materialistic. They get lots of debt, then start to fret when they become a bad credit statistic

The Beast of Bogrims Marsh.

   When Archie Fox awoke the morning after a night of drinking with his pals he wondered why his head ached so much as he had not drunk anymore than normal. His scalp felt as though it had shrunk around his skull and the latter was trying to break out. He managed to drag himself  up and sit on the edge  of his bed where he stared into space.  Billy, his large mix breed dog. stood up from his bed in the corner of the bedroom, stretched his long limbs, arched his back, flexed his well sprung chest, shook his massive flanks, wagged his long ratlike tail, strolled over to his master and placed his massive paw on Archie's knee, he gazed into Archie's eyes with a look of adoration in his own blue left eye and brown right eye; he had more breeds in him then Battersby Dogs Home. Archie twiddled the dogs pendant ear- the other one stood erect like a German Shepherd dogs- as he stared through glazed eyes at the photo of ...

The Fall Of A Spy from the Sky.

He was a Spy; I don't know why, because it was all hush, hush. He had to sneak around and look; but never, ever rush. If he rushed he'd not have seen what he had to look at. So he sneaked around on tippy toes and earned the name the cat. He was cool, he was flash, in smart suits he cut a dash. He got the girls and drank the drink; usually shook, not stirred. His reputation went ahead of him so he attracted every bird. I tell you all this in past tense, because he came a cropper. whilst out spying from the air he fell out of the chopper.

Acid Sid's Last Gasp.

Acid Sid was of disrepute. He sold drugs to kids in a snazzy suit. His pockmarked face was in a snarl as he walked round with his mate Carl. I put Carl in so that it would rhyme but it was Sid alone who did the crime. I chased him off; how he did cough. He ran until his lungs gave out, plus, he suffered terribly with chronic gout. I said, "now look what drugs have done," he said, "I'll shoot you with my gun." The bullet whistled past my head and hit his mate Carl, who fell down; dead. I felt guilty of a crime, I'd introduced Carl to make it rhyme. Acid Sid said, "I've another bullet." He touched the trigger,but he didn't pull it. His acidic lungs gave up on him, His eyes rolled up, all glazed and dim. The pain ebbed out of his gout riddled feet, as he went to hell to face the heat.

The Downfall of a Food Critic

There was a food critic who criticised food. His remarks about it were very rude, He criticised here, he criticised there, he even criticised the restaurants beer. He would not drink and he would not eat. Then one day in a restaurant he fell off his seat. The Doctor declared, "he's critically ill, Through picking at food and not getting his fill." Now the critic was critical; a bit of a prat, his limbs were no fatter than those of a gnat. The Restaurant Chef said, "it served him right, he came in earlier and criticised all night." They took him to hospital and tucked him in bed, and by the next morning he was critically dead.

Kiddies corner:- Rhyming stories and nursery rhymes written by me; John Gill.

          Timothy Hedgehog Finds a Friend.  One day when the sun was shining, all the animals were at play. Timothy Hedgehog went to join them, but they nasty things shooed him away. 'Clear off!' They shouted rudely, 'your prickly and play too rough: Why can't you be like the rest of us, all cuddly and covered in fluff?' Poor Timothy went away tearfully, shuffling and snuffling along. He sat on a stone and had a good cry, then from somewhere a voice said, 'What's wrong?' 'Who said that?' asked Timothy, as he could not see anyone around. 'Your sitting on my house.' said the voice, that seemed to come from the ground. Timothy jumped up quickly, from what he thought was a stone, thinking to himself, "well it looks more like a stone than a home." Slowly out of each corner, appeared a very wrinkly leg, then just as slowly at one end, there appeared a thumb shaped wrinkled head. 'Who are you?' asked Tymoth...

Another Close Encounter With The Grim Reaper. A TRUE STORY>

 I worked in the fishing industry until the Government of the day sold us out to the Icelandic Government, so that the Americans could keep a listening post on Icelandic land. The cold war was on at the time and they were more concerned about what the Russians were up to, than the survival of a thriving industry that employed thousands of people. You miners think that you have been badly done to, our men are still fighting for compensation. that is another story; too depressing and serious for this blog. This story is one of those that you laugh at afterwards.  It was my second trip on Sir Thomas Robinsons trawler the 'Samarian' and my first trip as a Deckie Learner rather than a Galley Boy, The skipper called down from the bridge for us to go below as a gale was blowing up. I was busy clearing fish from the wash chute -a structure that looks like a slide in a children's playground-  I was at the top of this chute clearing it so that the fish co...
