I was reasonably happy with mine, too; still, it's not the winning it's the taking part, eh, chaps? (Pause while making Muttley-sounding gnashing sound-effects....)
Rupert steps out!
It’s a fine summer day and Rupert is full of optimism. He’s been becoming especially fond of young Bill Badger for a while now and, with worrying signs of a badger cull about to begin, decides to visit his friend and talk his feelings through.
One day young Rupert paused before
His friend, Bill Badger’s, fine front door;
Said Rupert “It seems clear to me,
That Bill’s the one I want to see”.
Soon, Rupert and his badger chum
Are swapping scarves: will they succumb
To Cupid’s ever-piercing darts? Who knows:
Love’s light oft leads to sharing clothes.
Still Bill’s alarmed: he doesn’t want
An “Outing” in his homely haunt.
“I’m glad they haven’t culled you yet;
It’s best we stay inside your sett,”
Sobs Rupert and – avert your eyes –
While Nutwood’s yet to realise –
The Two are One, fast friends for aye;
We’ll pry no further for today.
