When Noddy drove off in his car,
before he had got very far,
he met a green imp,
'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.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

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)

before he had got very far,
he met a green imp,
Who walked with a limp
And whose face did sport a huge scar.

"Look out!" said Allie to Bill
As a rock rolled down the hill,
'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.

"Look out!" said Allie to Bill
As a rock rolled down the hill,
Bill leapt to the side,
Protecting his bride.
So neither one went for a spill.


Sorry for doing all three lines but it had been a few days and once I started I could not resist. :lol:

When the Findouters visited the zoo,
They met someone they knew - now guess who?
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.

It was not that man, Goon,
As they found out quite soon,
"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
