By inserting your thumb
plump
And heading it off at the pass
Chalky
It's painful to make the admission

A spider just ran up my leg

For warm incubating

A wasp laid its eggs in my foot

Kim
Thus spake Zarathrustra (to me):
Martha Farquar
"It's lovely to be a Parsee"
Breadmaster
For when you are dead
Chalky
You get breakfast in bed
Uncle Korky
and in mid-afternoon, you get tea.
Breadmaster
"Ecce homo!" he cried to the crowd
Thos
"How dare you?" I replied aloud
Darren
He said, "Ooh get her!"
Big Dave
Then his fists were a blur
Chalky
Thus to prove his manhood and stand proud.
Uncle Korky
With a deafening cry of "
Eureka!

Breadmaster

penelope
I wish I was living instead.
snorgle
I should not have jumped
Raak
Can I claim I was bumped?
Darren
Or I sleepwalked off of Beachy Head?
Breadmaster
Your Honour, the verdict is clear.
Lib
And I tell you, without any fear
Chalky
The defendant's a duck
