| Timber
I once was happy as could be A branch upon a mighty tree The Canadian Rockies were my home From which I thought I’d never roam ~ Then one day, I think in May Three lumberjacks strolled along Clad in dirty vests, with hairy chests Singing a Python song ~ The girly one, they called him Sue Cried “Look I’m sure this one will do” Swung a blow with his mighty chopper OMG it was a whopper ~ All too soon we were bits of tree For England bound across the sea Shaped, chiselled and sandpapered down Brought to a Grog shop in old Camden Town ~ Oh! Lordy the sights I was to see In this awful den of iniquity A hooker and a cross-eyed bloke Were supping lamp oil laced with coke ~ While an ancient craggy faced old doll Was gyrating round an upright pole The rumour was, or so they say He had come ashore that very day ~ My fate was sealed, the die was cast I had found my future home at last Please forgive my shame I beg Cos now I’m Long John’s wooden leg

| Hi John,
I'm not sure I should know where this idea came from but I am glad it formed in your imagination.. hysterical ending (although, for a moment, I thought the poor piece of wood would become a strippers pole..).
Amazingly easy to follow. Keep on writing.
~ Daniel

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
