When Fatty forgot to change trains,
Larry commented: "Where are your brains?
We've gone way past Reading,
To Penzance we're heading

(sorry for doing two lines... I'm planning a trip to Cornwall and it just came out like that :wink: )

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

A new one:

When Dick walked out in the snow,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

When Dick walked out in the snow,
He didn't know which way to go.

He walked right out of sight!

He walked right out of sight!
When he stepped in a snow drift - oh no!

:lol: Sorry for the terrible throw-away rhyme, loL! :-D
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

The others soon missed poor old Dick,

But up popped his head,
"What a lot of trouble one avoids if one refuses to have anything to do with the common herd. To have no job, to devote ones life to literature, is the most wonderful thing in the world. - Cicero

Thinking his disappearance was a trick,
But up popped his head,
From the sunken flower bed,
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Thinking his disappearance was a trick,
But up popped his head,
From the sunken flower bed,
Looking decidedly pale and quite sick!

When Bets slipped over on the ice,

She fell very hard - 'twas not nice.

Her poor ankle was twisted,
