Snubby walked down to the beach,
And spied a boat, just out of reach,
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.

Snubby walked down to the beach,
And spied a boat, just out of reach,
He waved like mad,
'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.

The sailor looked sad,

For he had lost the power of speech!

And another:

Snubby used the word ‘smashing’,
'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.

Snubby used the word ‘smashing’,
He thought that it sounded quite dashing,
'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)

Love it! :lol:

When Miss Trimble lost her glasses,
She didn't see Goon making passes.
As he entered the gate,
'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.

As he entered the gate,
She saw him too late,
