COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

"And now for something completely different..."
Excerpts from a very silly little book called The Space Child's Mother Goose.

Probable-Possible, my black hen,
She lays eggs in the Relative When.
She doesn't lay eggs in the Positive Now
Because she's unable to Postulate How.

Little Miss Muffet
Sits on her tuffet
In a nonchalant sort of way.
With her force field around her
The spider, the bounder,
Is not in the picture today.

Little Bo-Peep
Has lost her sheep,
The radar has failed to find them.
They'll all, face to face,
Meet in parallel space,
Preceding their leaders behind them.

I like those!
Very good.

You know what happens when you encourage people:

Little Jack Horner
Sits in a corner
Extracting cube roots to infinity,
An assignment for boys
That will minimize noise
And produce a more peaceful vicinity.

See Saw
Margery Daw
Recurs in a future dimension.
Since, in the past,
She won't work very fast,
Her wages are held in suspension.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
At three o'clock he had his great fall.
The king set the time machine back to two.
Now Humpty's unscrambled and good as new.

FINIS!

Hi, Bea, lovely to see you as always.
The thing is here, is that if you compliment something enough and say how lovely it is, the owner is duty bound to offer it to you, though you should refuse at least twice before accepting.
We learned this at the hotel we first stayed at while falling in love with the medina and looking for a home.
Wifey adored a waitresses earrings and so the waitress gave them to her.
One must be careful how much one like something.
However, this meant I simply had to adore these poor little tortoises and I was offered the one that within the hour became named Tidgy, on the spot, but unfortunately, her sister was owned by another family whose child was staying there and, as they weren't there, this tort could not be offered.
I impolitely accepted Tidgy at once and escaped before the children's tears or complaints began.

So coveting is cool?

Yep, I do.
That's why I like to encourage people!
It reminds me of a comedy horror story called 'The Fat Thing' about a monster that became a serial killer of people with the same names as nursery rhyme characters.
For example :
Little Jack Horner ,
Sat in his corner,
Eyeing his guest on the sly,
The Fat Thing had found him,
It mashed him and ground him
And put what was left in a pie.

Or
Old Mother Hubbard,
Went to the cupboard,
To get her poor dog a bone.
The The Fat Thing was there,
All skin and no hair,
And Old Mother Hubbard got done.

And
Little Bo Beep
Had lost her sheep,
The Fat Thing it followed behind her.
It trailed her home,
To where she lived all alone,
And proceeded to mash her and grind her.

And the stories classic line :
The Fat Thing was "somewhere in the central London system, cleverly disguised as central London sewage."

No!
The point is it stops you from doing so.
Trouble is no one shows any interest in anything belonging to anybody else.

Seems like it would encourage it?
