POETRY CORNER

A quest that’s a complete farcical blunder from start to overdue finish – that’s series 3’s Scott and friends!

The dungeoneer whose name was Scott,

Rhymes with his home, Aldershot!

In the vale he nearly sank,

And with Golgarach, looked quite blank!

With only one, a step was missed,

The quest was doomed – you get the gist?

Still on they blundered, past the crone,

Then Velda had a moody moan.

Down the trapdoor, on the wheel,

The leap was timed with misplaced zeal.

Past the bricked-off room below,

Steps from Oracle and crow.

A ghostly brush between the crags,

And this is where the doomed quest sags.

A gap was left near Merlin’s throne,

Because the first step was not known.

A plucky leap, but then, alas!

Scott fell into the crevasse.
