Q Queen Quaneisha the Quick Queen
The
QUINTESSENTIALLY QUAINT Queen Quaneisha
was famously quick, she liked to
eat quickly run quickly and do all her queenly duties quickly and to all was known as the Quaneisha the quick.
Every morning she would quietly
encourage everyone round the breakfast table in her palace to eat up very quickly.
Quick quick quick quick Quick quick quick quick, the queen would say
making everyone eat up, there are things to be done, eat your breakfast nice
and quick.
Then
after breakfast she would say Quick
quick quick quick Quick quick quick quick, wash all the dishes.
Then
Queen Quaneisha would make the
entire palace dance the Quick
step but very very quickly . . .
. . . . . Quick quick quick quick Quick
quick quick quick would say the queen
quietly.
She
would read her books quickly,
ride her horse quickly and run
round the palace gardens very quickly,
saying to all the gardeners Quick
quick quick quick Quick quick quick
quick there are weeds growing in her quiet
but quick voice.
She
would even tell the birds to fly quickly
the trees to grow quickly and
would say to the clouds in the sky Quick
quick quick quick Quick quick quick quick clouds.
Then
one day she decided to take everyone to the beach because it was sunny and said
Quick quick quick quick Quick quick
quick quick everyone onto the beach, she then stood at the edge of the
sea and said Quick quick quick quick
Quick quick quick quick
waves. And ran up and down the beach very quickly.
She
then said . . . . . . . . quick Sand
And
was never seen again . . . . . and everyone said that is very odd
The
End

How you found so many "Q" letters marvel me and to put them in a post is so clever. Well done.

To tell the truth I think I used QUICK QUITE a lot, more than my allotted QUOTA . . . . .
DeleteThanks for hanging in there still a way to go to the grand finale at Z
Ahh quicksand. Didn't see that one coming!
ReplyDeleteTo tell the truth nor did I until I had a flash of inspiration about half way through.
DeleteFabulously hahahaha - I started reading aLL the Quick Quick Quick segments out loud, then I started thinking in duck terms (why????) Quack Quack Quack .... hahaha ... thinking "I must read these quick segments slowly", but I could not. A veRy quaint-essential story.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that there were always eight queenly quicks spoken seven times in your story, so maybe she could have been named Queen Quaneisha the Eighth.
DeleteI really should have noticed that and done one more QUICK X 8. She could have beheaded her husbands very quickly then.
DeleteI did a steam powered duck last year that went Quack rather a lot, which means if I do this next year I am running out of options
Pretty effective story there Rob thank you! Funny too! mmmm, Options would have been a good choice of word now that you say ...
ReplyDeleteSusan Scott's Soul Stuff
AH yes a bit late for Options but not too late for Some Serious Options.
Deleteglad you liked the tale, it is all plain sailing from here on except for the drawings, I really should not have started that but ho hum committed now.
The Lil Man had to read this one out today, as I literally cannot talk. Do you know how painful it is to laugh when you have an infected tooth? Very painful indeed! Brilliant ending Rob Z. :)
ReplyDeleteDAMN I appear to have deleted my own comment Miss Lily.
DeleteI was saying I also have toothache and have been shouting NO NO NOT THE DENTIST. I was struggling with fish and chips but managed a chocolate tart dead easy?
Master Lil man will enjoy tomorrows ending I think, it is classic fairy tale in the traditions of the old school. None of this nice PC stuff (I do not refer to computers)
Quite quaint!
