Stores

(5 stories)

There was a chap
Worked in stores
Of a paint shop
Not exactly honest
But when caught
Red handed
Owned up
It was a fair cop

Rats, as big as alleycats, in the quartermaster's store used to worry me as a child. (But not chips, as big as battleships.)

I stored in advance for the beast from the East. No panic screaming for bread and milk. What! round 2 coming? Where's my wallet? #130story

There wasn’t much rapport
In the quarter masters store
When the squaddy asked for new boots
As his little toe was sore.

Thinking fiscally, we filled our stores with hay before we bought any timber. No point putting the cart before the horse. #130story
