1380 - QUOTA

The cAT sat on the mat
With a stain on its hat
The mouse took off
With quite a cough
Here's your quota of fat

1379 - SORRY

OscaR was the scion of his very famous parents. But Oscar was not very ambitious and just wanted to retreat from the public eye. His parents nagged him every day to make something of his life. Today he'd had enough. "Sorry, but I've had enough; I'm off to Canada to tour the country and find a place for me to settle and build my own life." And with that he picked up his bags and got into the waiting taxi.

1378 - VERSE

ThE two mates weRe walking to the poetry reading event. One of them made a snide remark that the other took offense at. He gave him a shove and his mate landed up in a gorse bush. "Owwww!". "I'm sorry, I seem to have over-reacted. Let me help you up. Fortunately I have a small cruse of healing oil here." With the soothing oil applied, the hurt friend did up the morse on his cape since staying still to be helped had chilled him off. Eventually they got their destination and enjoyed the various types of verse that were well presented.

Gorse in the right place looks lovely, but don't fall into it

1377 - ELBOW

The new sheLf was up and thE lovely smell from the kitchen meant dinner was imminent. He looked back at his DIY and was disappointed to see there was a gradual cline of the shelf as one fixing slowly pulled away from the wall. He just managed to catch it before it clattered to the floor, neatly trapping one bit with his elbow. "Rectifying this is a job for after dinner", he thought.

Oh dear!

1376 - SHELF

It had been a LovEly cruise, but as they walked in the front door there was a dreadful smell that brought them back to the everyday with a bump. The search quickly revealed a dead rat on the shelf in the kitchen; maggots were everywhere. It wasn't the day they'd expected to round off their holiday!
