POETRY CORNER

Here is an account of possibly my favourite ever really abysmal quest, that of Akash and his "Surrey maidens" in series 2.

A stranger bunch could never be

Than Akash and his maidens three.

They chose the doorway that was right,

Then the Troll caused a big fright.

His pacifying was a good call,

Then on to the talking wall.

With magic aid the score was one,

Would this team soon be undone?

The choice of objects: very poor.

Should have had that ice for sure!

Through the green-hued hall of dread,

Lillith had a throbbing head.

Without the ice pack Akash fell,

Quest was over, just as well!
