POETRY CORNER

Two level one deaths from series 2 this time. In both cases, it just goes to show that if you don’t stop to read labels carefully then you’re riding for a fall… or an explosion.

Martin’s team of Geordie chaps,

Had a slight acumen lapse.

Folly clearly showed the way,

To follow Gretel and not stray.

 Olgarth’s challenge came thereafter,

Martin’s team proved they were dafter.

The score was two and, as expected,

Alas! The frogs’ legs were rejected.

Mildread’s help was just not earned,

Then in a bomb room Martin burned.

Later on, Anthony tried,

To get Folly on his side.

The jester’s laughter was the means,

The team knew not their reds from greens.

With Igneous the score was one,

The Bishop’s challenge was undone.

With Olaf bribed by golden bar,

Lillith’s patience stretched too far.

Ant was standing on the brink,

Without the potion for her drink!

Down he fell, and back to Hants,

The quest had been a load of pants!
