Unfurl the colours of those who’ve served
In times past and places far away
Unfurl those pennants and ensigns bright
Let us show them in proud array
Unfurl the colours of those who fought
And would do so again even today
Show off those banners of those who fell
So young and who shall never grow grey

Sir George was confused. The baron had ordered him into the valley to rid it of a marauding dragon. He had checked all of the usual haunts: three caves and rocky overhang, but no evidence of a beast was found at any of them.
Was he losing his touch, he wondered. After all he was an expert in the dragon game. This perplexed him.
After checking the closest of the caves again, he tethered his horse to a pine and sat down on a log to consider his options. As he ran through the evidence he couldn’t shake the sensation of sulfur in the air. But where could it be coming from?

So I stopped
And so I waited
Yet my want of knowledge
Was not sated
A week I stood
In want of instruction
In fact I had become a kind of obstruction
For no one else could go that way
My steadfast stand their progress did belay
At least I was told to stand aside
An instruction finally – so I complied

German Time:
Eight – forty on the head
I arrived precisely at the time I said
UK Time:
I said I’d meet you at half past eight
Sorry to be running a little late
African Time:
I’m here now there was no need to call and call
By the way, what’s that pretty round thing on the wall

Many people are aware of the United States Air Force’s ultra-secret Area 51 facility. What you might not know is the United Kingdom has its very own compound where sensitive technology, and it is rumoured alien devices might be found. Yes, of course I am talking about Area 5.1. What it lacks is high tech mystique, it more than makes up for in old world charm. Well, that’s what the website says any way.

Off a coastal town the trawler did list
A problem revealed – previously missed
But through the early morning mist
Came the life-boatmen ready to assist
The mariners could on them rely –
All in a day’s work for the RNLI

Barbara stepped from the carriage and crossed her arms and tapped her foot disapprovingly.
“What’s wrong?” Tina asked, joining her on the platform.
“I am peeved off because I’ve been scammed.”
“Scam?”
“Yes, I paid an extra £11 to go first class, and you got here the same time I did and you were in the standard carriage.”

“Stay really still and keep watching out the window,” Teddy said.
“Then what will happen?” Joey enquired.
“Well if we don’t draw attention to ourselves, this lady with a camera will come along and take a picture of our window. I don’t know why she does it, but she come walking by places like this snapping photos. If we’re luck we’ll get to be in one.”
