My mother said to me,

“Don't be an impractical man, and get mother a frying pan"

Said I, being an irresponsible brat,

“Now why on earth should I do that?”

Two long impatient tentacles reached for my back,

And send me swirling anti-clockwise onto her lap.

With an incredible surge of power,

The lady began to slap my rump for an hour.

After this terribly inconvenient session,     

The foul hands pushed me off her prized possession.

The illuminatingly gleaming eyes shone brightly on her face,

And she bellowed at me, “You ignorant squirt, I'll send you to space”

The illegible face fixed on mine in a snarling manner,

Like an improbable bar code scanner!

The inattentive menacing black eyes shot at me,

Until I stayed quivering on the spot like a palm tree!

So you see, I’d have your mum any day than mine

Because I’m sure yours is absolutely divine!

1. His motionless expression matched the dull weather that hung about in the air around him. The cold, raspy breeze presented a startling effect on his skin, consequently causing goose bumps to form. Although he was wearing a woolly jumper made from the skin of a tiger, he shivered more than ever under them, longing for warmth to find its way to him. On the other hand, his sister galloped wildly on the grass while he watched her feeling less enthusiastic than usual, his thoughts wandering as to how his sister might be surviving through this weather.
2. Mrs.Dixon bent her head and glared at her pupils down her long nose, so that her glasses almost fell off the long nose it was hanging to."I thought I asked for silence, Claudia! Get on with your work now!"As long as Mrs.Dixon kept her class quiet, her estimation of making a good teacher would raise higher among the staff. Otherwise her class would be considered the worst in the school, and she would have to pay the price for it, therefore receiving a never ending lecture by the strict principal. However her mood was not improved when the principal walked in. He alternatively made these little trips to her class room, and he was about to say something to her when he abruptly stopped as a paper aeroplane hit him on his nose."I'd like to have a word with you Mrs.Dixon he muttered. The colour drained out of Mrs.Dixon's face. This was far worse than the end of the world.

George O’Brian looked down upon his pot bellied tummy proudly. It had been the trademark of the O’Brians’ for many generations. It was the heaviest part of his body and he thought the heaviness seemed to regard him as an affluent person, and having pretty women flock around him at the barbecue.

He was now readily at his hungriest as the smell of food hit him in the nose and brought in a strong desire for appetite. His tummy groaned with emptiness as he glanced through the variety of food (which was appealing to the eye) that varied from shrimps to a roasted barbecue.

Nevertheless, he was sure he wouldn't ever get a marriage alliance and live a happy married life. Why, for when he met the lady who had  captured his heart like no other, turned away the minute she’d seen him at the BBQ hogging food like a greedy pig, marking him out as an obese person.

His eyes glistened with tears at the memory of losing his love to obesity, and he bit into the chicken shawarma, trying to forget about the painful incident.

Drifting out into the night sky, she walked sullenly to the grave yard. But as she walked to her old aunt Breana's grave, she knew something was wrong. A spirit wandered across to Madoline.

"Forgive me!" it yelled. "I beg forgiveness!"

 Madoline gasped as she realised that it was the spirit of old aunt Breana!

"CUT!" yelled the director. "The rehearsal went well indeed, but Madoline Watkins could have put a more deplorable expression and old aunt Breana a more excitable one."

With that, the performers began to rehearse from the starting giving no excuse or an excusable reason to stop for a break. The audience couldn't wait for the release of the complete film, 'Breana's Grave' and find a purposeful answer to what happens to her tormented spirit.

1. Simon stifled a quick giggle as his dad paced up and down and around his brand new Ferrari, so unhappy to see it stationary. Sadly, he couldn't go close to it and have a quick drive through the country side, for it had nearly given him a heart attack, when he realized that someone had splattered egg yolk on his car. Any attempt to remove the dried yolk would ruin the paint job. Simon indeed thought his dad had proved very devotional to his new car! He certainly didn't fuss around like this to Simon himself. He could guess what his dad was thinking.
   "It must have been one of the gardeners from a different nationality. They quite obviously don't like us.
2. Andy scowled as he stood up for the sermon. Yawn. How dreadful to go to church each week as a regular routine. Mum said that she started going religiously since her father passed away. Why? they never used to step foot in this place, and suddenly they have to pray in sudden devotion. Mum had made him give his pocket money all away for the contribution part in church. All for nothing? Well, he was surely not going to start contributing, if that was what mum was thinking. When it came to the giving part, Andy hesitatingly dropped the cash in. Was mum looking? No! Carefully, he grabbed the money which was left in the tiny basket and stuffed the wad of cash in his pocket. His intuition didn't agree with it though.
3. Sarah walked up to the art institution, smiling cheerfully at her teacher who ran up to her, breathless.

1. He stared at the great beauty before him and reached down to gently stroke her black abdomen. Assembling her together hadn't been easy, but it was worth taking all the trouble. She was  sure going to do him proud by a hundred customers queuing up to buy her! If so, he would definitely be encouraged to go on with his forth right plan. Simultaneously he would also take up weaving as his career and own a shop of clothes. But then a voice spoke at the back of his mind, "What if this never works out? Your plan is shattered to pieces! He pushed the troubling thought away, and kissed the beauty. She was indeed his first prized car.
2. As the old lady stood in the shopping queue, she glanced at her grandson. He was twenty-one now, with a husky complexion and thick manner. But the dame knew better than that. She pitied him for undertaking so much work. If only there was a provider providing him with all the help he needed he wouldn't have undertaken so much pressure! A tear fell out of the dame's eyes. She wiped it with the back of her hand, but not quick enough for her grandson to not notice. If only she had kept motivating and encouraging him to come out of this filthy business.
3. Carlo stood in the hall's beginning to assemble the pieces of his toy aeroplane together while his mother, a famous weaver also sat in the hall, humming to the clicking noise of her thimble as she weaved.

Linda dashed out the classroom and went out to have her snack. She skidded to a halt, realising that she'd left her hat in the classroom. But as she gingerly tiptoed to pick up her hat, she realised that the door of her class room was locked! Frowning in confusion, she peered through the glass on the side of the door. It occurred to her that there were two men standing on front of the white board both distinguish with a mischievous twinkle in their eyes. Then one of them tugged at the white board. As it came crashing to the floor, Linda realised that there was graffiti scribbled on the walls! "It is an amiable decision," they said. "I suggest we make our extermination through the window." Too sick with the distortion of the truth, Linda turned away and fled.
2. Chemist Arnold wondered if his life was about to end as he looked at the figure huddled up in the bed-covers like a limp rag doll. He couldn't believe she had a symptom of cancer. It was indeed a catastrophic illness.

The reports from last years science fair were enough to catapult him into a horrible memory. Think about the evaluation than the conclusion he thought. This year would be different though.

The veil suddenly dropped off. The pale transparent colour made John gasp at his own wonder electronic device that he worked hard to put together. The perpendicular edges now made him tremble. Through hard work and endurance he managed to complete this rather challenging project. The butterflies fluttered around in his tummy, making him feel quite nervous. The pulse on his vein beat quicker. It was like he had over eaten too much of carbohydrate. The judges gabbled something to the audience but John couldn't comprehend what they were saying, for he felt sick at heart.

Nikola Frye waited patiently in the hallway as Clara a maid began to transfuse the warm tea into one cup then the other to cool it down. Today was Nikola’s big chance of meeting the one and only great author, Ruby Botwright. It was like reading Shakespeare’s literature. Nikola thought smiling secretly to herself. Indeed Ruby certainly had a great profession when it came to writing, and had her work published with a Penguin Books publication. 

One of her most famous books was called “Mourning Softly” with lively illustration by Alexandra Sheffield. Most of Ruby's books began with a paragraph describing various characters in a story.

Quickly, Nikola gulped down her tea in a hurry and made for the door to board the taxi. Meanwhile, Nikola was quite lost in a crowd of people, all making their way to Ruby Bothwright. A passionate young lady fortunately spotted Nikola and helped her through the stampede. Sadly, the book signing time and asking questions was all over, and the room was quite empty. Nikola hid behind a chair and watched the author all on herself in the middle of the hall. Ruby snorted in dismay. “Flowers!” She exclaimed. “Who needs flowers? I'm only here so I can repossess Backfold Cross,where I once lived."

James Gholb stuck his head through the door. The coast was clear. Quick as lightening, he tip-toed gingerly towards the velvet pillow on which lay a gleaming ruby that the Duchess Cornelian had under her possess.

James hesitated then began thinking wildly. After all it was Paul who began discussing this idea ever since he’d been held prisoner and began trying to persuade him into this crazy plan of stealing the precious gem. Suddenly he felt a figure closing up right behind him. Quickly he slipped the sparkly jewel into his vest pocket before flinging the velvet pillow thoughtfully on the grim attacker. 

Unfortunately, the attacker managed to dodge this unexpected missile and caught James and pinned him down. “We need to have a serious discussion about this, young lad.” he muttered and literally dragged poor James out of the room.

1. Hurriedly stuffing her bulging school bag into her locker, Lucy dashed into the classroom. She was going to be late! But as she scrambled up to her table, a golden vision was seated in her chair. Lucy stammered, and then quickly recovered her footing from stopping her from falling in amazement. What on earth was the girl doing in her spot? Ms. Glacier smiled at Lucy’s astonishment. “Lucy dear, this is a new girl, Melanie. She’ll be seated in your spot and you’ll be moved next to Andy.” Lucy hastily moved her things next to Andy and glared at the new girl. How dare she take her spot? Melanie looked at Lucy interestingly, and then turned to Ms. Glacier. It was soon break so Lucy ran back to her trusty locker, and gasped. The place had been turned upside down! Glass pieces smashed into splinters that lay scattered and ants crawled busily into her school bag. Too upset to speak, she got her banana and quietly made her way downstairs. She bit her lower lip to console herself and peered cautiously into one of the girl’s bathrooms hearing a mystifying scream. A gruesome sight met her eyes. Melanie stood towering over little Elizabeth while the helpless girl shivered in the corner. Lucy ran out of the toilets. She had had enough. Maybe she had underestimated the new girl.
   It was soon science and they were studying sophisticated chunks about Photosynthesis and even though Lucy loved science, she still couldn't take her  mind off the horrible encounter in the bathroom. Whatever could Melanie have done to poor Elizabeth? Finally, Lucy made up her mind. She would tell off Melanie and set things all right. So she tore up to Ms Glacier and explained what had happened. Ms Glacier nodded in apprehension, but she couldn't go any further, for Melanie had heard. She frowned heavily at Lucy, then landed with a cross little thump upon her chair, and read her reading book about freights quietly.

She sat back relaxed upon the hard wooden bench staring dreamily at the plentiful sky which seemed to blush at her. The sun raced down the horizon and disappeared like a rainbow melting into the sky.She sighed in the bliss of it all. Her eyes drooped shut and she dreamed dreams. But it was all ruined when her hateful little brother advanced towards her in playful little jumps the last one landing upon her. She screamed and treated him to some colourful words. Then she began to feel a bit fearful as her brother marched inside their house sending her a pitiful glare. She could just guess what he was about to do the little tell-tale brat. Now it'd be all her fault. She would get into hot water with mum but she was still feeling hopeful as she entered the house. She must be careful next time, she thought, but she felt relieved and thankful as mum strode up to her, a smile on her face. probably the little handful of her brother didn't tell on her after all.

Today was quiet an exciting day as Mrs.Higgins had arranged a play and the dramatist for it was Esme Vander. The play was called 'Last Tuesday Night' going to be presented on the coming Wednesday. Everyone had been auditioning for the parts and Gregory was very much hoping to be chosen for Josh, the boy who last ever saw his parents. He had already seen the scenery being painted on the canvas and ready to be hung up in the auditorium.

"And now children, we have decided," Mrs.Higgins cool voice made her class sit up straight. "For Josh we will have Jake, and Brian  will do well for his understudy."

Gregory felt very much sad indeed. How could he not have been chosen? He tried so well for the parts, he was so sure to be chosen for Josh. He began to think deeply in self pity. He was so lost in himself that he didn't even realise that his classmates were all busy trying to enact different characters in the play. But the sound of music playing in harmony made him jump. While Mrs.Higgins was planning choreography with powerful athletic moves combined with some gymnastics for short dance, the main dancers in the class began to characterise an opening dance with soft agile movements.

"Gregory?" Mrs.Higgins barked. "I don't see you doing any proper moves here."

Gregory's mouth jutted down to portray a collection of bright white teeth and his friends looked towards him in empathy. Gregory simply dropped his head downwards like an unhappy dog, making him look like he was trying to emote the rabbit in 'Last Tuesday Night'.

Little Joe, instead of doing his subtraction homework was sprawled all over the floor, reading a fiction book and a dictionary by his side, was very displeased indeed.

“Hey!” his surprised voice echoed around the house. “What happened? I can’t see anything!”

So while Mrs. Hope lighted a candle and calmed him down, Mr. Hope began to poke some numbers into the telephone.

“Hello?” He asked. “Is this Mr. Rider the electrician? We have a power cut around so if you could come over we would be very grateful.” And he began directing the electrician to the tiny hooked up villa where the three Hopes lived. In no time at all, the electrician arrived, dressed head to toe in black. He certainly didn't look like one though he carried a box of tools along with him. He gave Mrs. Hope a steely grin. There was something very sinister about him. His crunched nose kept snorting in an alarming fashion. Then he walked himself inside and into the kitchen, and stood on a chair, prodding at the ceiling, and trying to fix the electrical circuits. Little Joe howled somewhere about in the living room, so Mrs. Hope rushed off and while she attended to him, the electrician stroked his beard thoughtfully and gave a devilish grin. 

When she returned she stopped dead in her tracks to see a messy kitchen. A good proportion of her chicken pie had disappeared and so was Mr.Rider too. She noticed the back door had creaked open just a fraction. Mrs Hopes eyes grew wide in terror as light dawned upon her and she gasped in reaction to what had happened. She quickly headed to the telephone and began to dial the number ‘999.’ Despite all this going on, she still managed to have a laugh as Little Joe ran about shouting that he was a bossy politician.

2. It was a dark quiet night in the forbidden forest as the boy stood in the very clearing. He was covered with marks of charcoal and his cheeks were a bright red. But that didn't matter now. For twelve days of suffering in bitter winds it was worth it. He rubbed his hands to the warmth of the hearth. The boy wore nothing at all except a small piece of loin cloth tied beneath his waist. He bent over to steady the roaring flames which had started to crackle noisily, and suddenly he heard it, the inhuman frightening cry. And then it pounced.
3. She sat by the railway station on the grassy landscape gazing hungrily at the many different flavours of ice-cream on display. The freights hurried on, making her feel quiet dizzy. Then the train stopped and chuffed like an athlete out of breath.

Seeing the impossibility of me getting well the doctors have put me under serious medication. And I'm afraid to give you the responsibility of working as a maid. You have of course an education. Which will mean you will be classified as a wonderful nan. Please will you do this?"
