Basket

(5 stories)

Where sorcery reined
Dragons never tamed
In that fabled land of Old
Was weaved a basket of gold
Whence it came
There was no name
Sought by the rich
Captured by the bold
Made full use of it
The magical basket
Carried riches so we are told
Holding bog roll by the * load

‘What was the supermarket like?’
‘Not too bad, everyone behaved themselves, Sandra.’
‘Did you manage to get everything?’
‘Yes, I only needed a basket but grabbed a trolley.’
‘Why’s that?’
‘You can use it to keep a social distance!’
‘Oh Tom!’

Johns birthday treat

Do you fancy chicken in a basket?
Johns mum thought she’d give him a pamper
No I don’t fancy chicken in a basket!
But I could eat a goose in a hamper.
