And a
really sinister
Podume found at

Bag a few Wombles
Kiwi Chris - What have the Wombles
Done to you? Moving to build
A refuge at

You should mind your own beeswax
Meanwhile,

Kiwi Chris - But they are so cute
Didn't know they made beeswax :)
Anyway,
Uxbridge

What are the other ones then?*Hops off at
Temple*
Simons Mith - The commentator
speaking in hushed tones tells us
the endgame is near.
Commentator - Speaking in hushed tones
I tell the players that it's
A game of two halves.

*f*a*r*k*l*e*While I shoot myself in the
HTML head.
Bif - Simons continues
To comment without playing
I move back to
Bank
Kim - Making a late tilt
At undeserved glory
I essay
Bond Street!

Tuj - Reasserting my
Authority (podumes-wise)

frumeBut even now I think that's
unduly forward.

the haiku game is living
I say: "right foot
Bank"
nights -
and spontaneously forget how to count...
Kiwi Chris - Counting carefully
Moving off to
Mill Hill East Scheming a dark scheme

I don't really need to know,
I'm just curious.
Tuj - Exploding onto
The scene and pushing onward
To
Fulham Broadway
Simons Mith - The time is now right
For me to enter the game;
Mornington Crescent.
Tuj - I call thee offside!
However, I'm not, and:
Mornington Crescent!!
Audience -
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Tuj*
Tuj - I did enjoy that
But all good things must come to
(dot) (dot) (dot) (dot) (dot)
This is the end of the line. There is no more.
