The end of RBC.
BAD DAY AT THE ARK
------------------ Roger McGough, Liverpool poet On the eleventh morning Japheth burst into the cabin; 'Dreadful news, everybody, the tigers have eaten the bambanolas!' 'Oh, not the bambanolas,' cried Mrs Noah. 'But they were my favourites, all cuddly and furry and such beautiful brown eyes.' Noah took her hand in his, 'Momma, not only were they cute but they could sing and dance and speak seven languages.' 'And when baked, their dung was delicious.' added Shem wistfully. Everybody agreed that the earth would be a poorer place without the bambanolas. Noah determined to look on the bright side. 'At least we still have the quinquasaurapods.' 'Oh, yes, the darling creatures,' said his wife. 'How would we manage without them?' On deck, one quinquasaurapod was steering, cooking, fishing, doing a crossword and finding a cure for cancer. The other was being stalked by a tiger. |
