A Hand in the Bush
by
Roald Dahl
I am a maiden who is forty,
And a maiden I shall stay.
There are some who call me haughty,
But I care not what they say.
I was running the tombola
At our church bazaar today,
And doing it with gusto
In my usual jolly way
When suddenly, I knew not why,
There came a funny feeling
Of something crawling up my thigh!
I nearly hit the ceiling!
A mouse! I thought. How foul! How mean!
How exquisitely tickly!
Quite soon I know I’m going to scream.
I’ve got to catch it quickly.
I made a grab. I caught the mouse,
Now right inside my knickers.
A mouse my foot! It was a HAND!
Great Scott! It was the vicar’s!
So, what's your favourite Dahl book ? |

"it had completely slipped my mind that it was today......shame on me   "
I only knew because I was printing out Willy Wonka golden tickets for our grand kids at midnight when their mum discovered their printer had run out if ink !  |
