The
Slightly eccentric A to Z blogging adventure of unknown and rather unpopular
Modern fairy tales
2013
Once
upon a time a long long time ago lived an aristocratic
albino king and architect
called King Alfonso; King Alfonso designed and built a huge gilded
enclosure for three biggish brown bears
who had eaten Bob the boy, the kings jester. The Crimson
King had tried to assist and cheer up King Alfonso by sending a cuddy
cat to him; the two kings had become friends when the Crimson King had passed by on his quest
to find his prized Cream canary.
However
the post office had accidently sent the cuddly
Cat to the Duke of Denmark , and Doris the Dragon had then mistakenly thought the
Fluffy Cuddly Cat was Candy floss
(easily done). Doris
the Dragon only realized her
error when an Egret called Edward passed by and shouted “Have you
seen a fluffy Cuddly Cat it has
nicked my dinner a rather nice looking Electric
Eel”. In the end Edward the Egret decided it was easier just to go to Franks Fish Bar in Falkirk which had been recommended to
him by Florence the florescent
fire Faerie from Fife who
happen to be passing at the time along with some Ghosts
Goats and GannetS and a
rather Grumpy granny who had
warned the Egret about a flock of Guillemots although the Guillemots had in fact been frightened
off by three angry Harpies who
were complaining very loudly about being set on fire by Hungarians.
Meanwhile Igor the Pet shop owner was reading a
letter from a king asking for advice about feeding bears who seemed a bit fussy
about the temperature of their porridge, he was also half watching the rather foolish Jack the Juggler being stupid on the hill; it will all end in tears thought
Igor as he patted Ivan the immortal Icelandic
Alligator on the head. Then sure enough Jack slipped, although
Igor did notice it was on one of the jellyfish
that had escaped the day previous that caused Jacks
fall. Then Ken the Knight
asked Igor if he had any kingfishers for sale but Igor told Ken the Knight
that he was banned from the pet shop as he had heard that Ken the Knight had fried
all the last batch of Kingfishers
in a crunchy batter. But ken said
he was going to the wedding of Lucinda the little leprechaun
from Lapland
and Captain Luke and needed a
wedding present. He said even a Mouse
and a Mole would be alright or as
a final resort a few newtS but Igor said “No” and told him to go and
ask someone else for ideas.
So Ken the knight went and sat looking at the Ocean next to an Ocelot and an Osprey who said that everyone loves Pork Pies and the best Pork
Pies in the world were made just up the road in Pontefract by the Pie
piper and Princess Peter. They did warn him that they sell out very Quickly so he needed to be QUICK QUICK
QUICK to get any, so QUICK that even the Quick
Queen would struggle to catch him.
But as he was running Quickly
to Pontefract he saw a very Round Rabbit and thought that’s a very
ROUND RABBIT that will make the ideal wedding present, but as he contemplated
how to catch it he was eaten by a huge Snake
that HiSSSSSSSSSSSSed and then Smiled
silently before both it and the Round Rabbit vanished off into the sunset.
Leaving nothing but a confused ZOMBIE holding a large sign
that said . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Now that's quite an interesting post!
ReplyDeleteWell I was sort of linking the bits up much as I did last year in the A to Z, I sort of did the A to Z twice last year, once entirely on my own . . . . .
DeleteYou are turning into a regular ole Billy Shakespeare with aLL these stories.
ReplyDeleteI translated the sign that the Zombie was holding, I figured that it was Morse Code, so:
DeleteEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I think I got the right number of E's.
Well Mr ESB it is not Morse code but in many ways you are so close, but all will be revealed at Z. A hint Z is the last letter of the alphabet . . .
DeleteI am not sure me and Billy S are quite comparable but there is a reference in the letter Y.....
I have a good story from the diner last night, Jesus cracked me up laughing, hope to get it aLL published later, stiLL working on several things.
DeleteMost interesting and clever,
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
Sadly I am not clever just mad.
DeletePhew! I feel like I need to lie down after reading all that! Great way to round up all of last week's tales. :)
