POETRY CORNER

We delve into the archives of series 3 again this issue, to remind ourselves of one of the all too numerous quests which failed before reaching level two. Stuck in between two impressive level three performances (Leo and Ross) James’s quest is all too easy to forget, so now I’m going to remind you about some of its finer details.

James and friends from Ipswich town

Tried to bring the Dungeon down.

Past the purple pool with care,

For magic sword was lurking there.

Three questions, then, Golgarach had,

The team got two, which wasn’t bad.

On they went with horn and gold,

To Dungeon Valley, dark and cold.

The armoured knight came to give chase,

And very nearly won the race!

But Velda’s crossbow floored the foe,

And to the kitchen James did go.

The gold soon sated Mrs. G,

Earning James his passage free.

But then, oh dear, the pit was deep,

And James was forced to take a leap.

With careless sidestep, narrow ledge,

He quickly tumbled off the edge.
