Carrying on from 12bliss
A few reminders for new players.
We each add just one line in turn.

He asked a girl holding a shoe tree
Can you tell me where
I could get a pair

A young man was lost in Kirkcudbright,
He asked a girl holding a shoe tree,
Can you tell me where
I could get a pair
I know a place you can get two free!

As the dog wanted to go out to play
Pulled on the lead and started to chase

I got up quite early one day,
As the dog wanted to go out to play
Pulled on the lead and started to chase
I lurched forward but lost my pace

I got up quite early one day,
As the dog wanted to go out to play
He started to chase
And I lost my pace
And fell to my knees on the pathway

And after, they snooze on the shelves
They then have a stretch

Stood in the corner and leered
We just turned our backs

Stood in the corner and leered
We just turned our backs
And covered our tracks
Looked over our shoulders and sneered.

I wish a tree grew that bore sweets,
Cakes and biscuits and other treats
Still you can eat lovely fruit from trees

I hope you don't mind if I adapt yours slightly, Grany

I wish a tree grew that bore sweets,
Cakes and biscuits and other treats
Still you can eat lovely fruit,
Spilling juice all over your suit

Spilling juice all over your suit,
Then slim down by pounding the streets.

A tuna and shark met one day,
To share a bottle of Beaujolais,
The shark got drunk
So his friend did a bunk

To share a bottle of Beaujolais,
The shark got drunk
So his friend did a bunk
‘Never drink with a shark’ I’d say
