An Amnesiac Remembers

The amnesiac who had forgotten that his name was Albert

He waved at magpipes and

Take Me To Your Leader

'Take me to your leader! '

The new recruit cried

She was forty stone and six feet high

She had just arrived on 'PLANET WORK'

She was met at the gate by a slob called BURK!

He was four foot five and incredibly shy

He gave an indolent half witted sigh,

And then he spoke, one word,

'Why? '

He was in the middle of demolishing a large meat pie

Death of a Therapist

Sitting in a black chair

After a heavy drink


Hanging from a light fitting

Face down on the floor


Who killed the therapist?

Nobody is sure

That night she left the latch off

The back door

There was a twitchy curtain at number 24
