U Ulysses the umpire and the Undead ukulele
players
Ulysses the Uruguayan Umpire looked uninspired under his Umbrella,
his now usually impeccable uniform utterly soaked, leaving him undignified
and looking for the entire world like the unkempt
underclasses of Urban Ullapool.
The
final of the Underworlds football
competition for The Unprincipled
Cup (made of Uranium) between the
Undead Ukulele players of Utopia
and the Undertakers Union had
unexpectedly turned into a Universal and unwanted quagmire, something almost unknown in the underworld.
The
Players had already been ushered
off the undulating pitch by unicorns, but the umpire had been urged to remain like an unsung
hero to uphold the principles of
the game. U see once the umpire
leaves the pitch in the underworld
it is an unwritten law that the
match is declared a draw, a result unwanted
by the unruly and unsocial crowd; this is after all the underworld where unprovoked UNEXPURGATED utterances are
UNFORTUNATELY uttered
far too often both on and off the pitch.
As
the Umpire unbuckled his belt his
unbiased opinion was the match
was unlikely to restart under the unforgiving and unrelenting
rain, this unnerved the unsettled UNSCRUPULOUS crowd who
stampeded onto the pitch and set upon Ulysses
the Uruguayan Umpire and the Unicorns in an unprovoked attack which was not only unworthy, But a bit underhand. Luckily Ulysses the Uruguayan
Umpire was saved by a group of university
undergraduates with kitchen utensils
however it appeared the crowd had ruined his underwear
in an UTTERLY UNMENTIONABLE way. Unfortunately
the Unicorns were not so lucky and
ran and hid in the undergrowth of
uncharted and unexplored Forests far far away.
So
after a long unimpressive and uninspiring day of UNNECESSARY violence unicorns have never ever been seen again anywhere not even in
the Underpasses of the underworld and certainly never at a
football match.
This considering this is a not so good letter to write about is excellent. I had trouble find the one I did. I hope you make your 100th follower.

I find the letter U OK I just end up using a lot of UN things (not as in United Nations), I mean UN words.
DeleteI am not too worried about follower numbers, it is more important to have good followers. Luckily I have a small group of followers who are great and make it all worth while.....
Utterly delightful. Unicorns rule.
ReplyDeleteOoooo I am with Mr H below (a man of genius) about Unicorns they are a bit untrustworthy what with that pointy thing on their heads.
DeleteI was always told never trust a man with a pointy thing on his head. OK yes Unicorns are not strictly men but in the dark without my glasses on.
Unicorns: Untrustworthy. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Mr H and I know you have much experience with Unicorns, so I think that now confirms what I always thought.
DeleteHow do you feel about hedgehogs?
I saw Undead Ukelele Player ... and I thought for second, oh, it is typical for them to be undead, at least while actuaLLy playing.
ReplyDeleteThey are like that those Undead, They will insist on being Undead at the most inappropriate moments.
DeleteAt least they don't do so at unappropriate moments.
