The moon shone so bright on the meadow
When Fatty came out of his shed-o
He gazed at the stars

The moon shone so bright on the meadow
When Fatty came out of his shed-o
He gazed at the stars
Through his 'binocu-lars'

The moon shone so bright on the meadow
When Fatty came out of his shed-o
He gazed at the stars
Through his 'binocu-lars'
Till a coconut fell on his head-o.

(no, don't ask me what the coconut was doing growing in Peterswood... that's just how it came to me )

Well that has made me laugh! I didn't think it would be so hard Rob, but well done all of you! And the coconut could have been thrown at Fatty! I know some people would enjoy doing that.

Actualy the meadow rhyme made it very entertaining to do!

Hmmm, I can just see it... The Mystery of the Deadly Coconut. Fatty is hospitalised with head injuries after the coconut hits him (seriously, those things can kill ); the other Find-Outers visit him daily, of course, but with their brilliant leader unable to contribute directly and unable to remember much about the actual incident, can Larry, Daisy, Pip and Bets (and Buster) find out who hurled that coconut at Fatty's bonce — and why? There's the temptation to put Goon down as the prime suspect, of course, but would that upstanding officer of the law really stoop so low? Or could there be someone else with a reason for wanting Master Frederick Algernon Trotteville out of the picture...??

(Sorry, got a bit carried away there. )

Try doing it limerick style then!

When Fatty got hit on the head,

When Fatty got hit on the head
Bets cried, "Did his foes want him dead?"

When Fatty got hit on the head
Bets cried, "Did his foes want him dead?"
For 'glues' they searched round,

When Fatty got hit on the head
Bets cried, "Did his foes want him dead?"
For clues they searched round,
And there on the ground...

Would love to know who was the culprit, limerick style. Be creative.

When Fatty got hit on the head
Bets cried, "Did his foes want him dead?"
For clues they searched round,
And there on the ground
Lay a hanky embroidered in red.

Wonderful last line! Carrying the theme on:

"Oh no!" cried poor Daisy in fright,

"Oh no!" cried poor Daisy in fright.
"Those initials just cannot be right!"

"Oh no!" cried poor Daisy in fright.
"Those initials just cannot be right!"
