Odd Odes - January 1996

Our old gent's gone all festive,
Now he's finished all his chore's,
So he's gone off kiteflying,
Dressed as Santa Claus.

"I thought I'd look quite festive",
Old Harry said to me,
"But I don't feel very jovial", he said
"Cos I've stuck one up a tree

"Don't worry Mate", I said to him,
"It happens to us all".
"It looks quite pretty caught up there,
with luck - out it might fall".

"I can't go home without it"
Harry murmered with a sigh,
"Her Indoors bought it for me
She'll cut off my supply".

"I'm half your age", I said to him,
"I'll pop up in that tree,
and get that kite down for you,
soon it will be free".

The kite rescue completed.
Getting stuck in a tree is a lesser sin,
A far worse thing to happen
Is a trashing by Peter Lynn.
(As many will confirm)

The moral of this story
is very plain to see,
Keep away from trees and Peter Lynn,
STICK WITH KITEABILITY

A very Happy New Year to one and all!
