1384 - SHEAR

GerAld lookEd out on his gaRden. "Right, today's the day", he thought to himself. He filled up his dewar flask with sweet tea, and headed to the garden shed. Before long had started to shear the hedges. It would take him all day and the dewar flash would need refilling.

1383 - CURSE

ThE same two mates (see 1378 - VERSE) weRe again walking together. "Remember, no snide remarks", said A to B. "Just as if", equipped B. "My cruse of healing oil is ready just in case and I'll remember to do up your morse, if you fail and I have to resort to the gorse bush treatment", joked A. Unfortunately, at this point in their walk, B stumbled on a protruding rock and, with a curse B fell into the same gorse bush. You know what follows!

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.
