William Shakespeare is one of several writers who produced great works when stuck behind closed doors (he was in quarantine when he wrote King Lear.)

With our own 'Fifty Shades of Grey Hair' - see classics for the thread - firmly in mind, we thought it might be time for us to gather together and write a new great work between us. Who wants to start?!

Carry on Gransnetters.

Aghast his partner cried Michael stop you don’t have to be in the river to Riverdance!

trisher Fri 20-Mar-20 21:46:22

Much against his will our hero (whoever he is) found his legs beginning to kick and stamp along with the other dancers. "Stop" he cried but Michael and the others simply danced faster

Calendargirl Fri 20-Mar-20 21:34:56

Their leader was Michael Flatley, who flatly refused to Morris Dance, and instead launched into a spirited version of Riverdance.

During his sleep, foxes had built dens all around him and had invited the largest group of Morris dancers ever assembled to perform.
