Kautilya Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Concerned about Gerrobs thought lost in the Valleys, after a final frantic email asking "Hhave u and T fled the country? Or got arrested and jailed at the Severn border? this reply came: "Well, I’m glad you asked. "I was discomfited in the extreme a few days ago when a giant Roc swooped down from the dizzy heights of the Beacons, seized me in its powerful Roc-y talons and carried me away to its inaccessible eyrie on the rocky shoulder of Fan Gihirych**. Bit of a bummer it was, like. "Fortunately, after an epic escape involving the use of a small packet of rubber bands, half a haddock and the bones of the Roc’s recent prey, which happened to be lying around the nest, I got away and staggered into Sennybridge at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, bleeding, cursing and limping and generally looking a bit poop. I rose from my sick-bed to write this missive, such is my dedication" **http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/maenllia.htm It could be this was an end of term school trip and "Sir" disappeared to the delight of his juvenile charges..... which opens up the door a little more for some wit as well as triumph over disaster as in a poem about Cloggy (I have to find it).. Happy thinking! and don;t forget to put © on your musings!
