Without Gorm
Frank said: "what's the story?"
Sid said: "what story's that then?"
Frank looked at Sid
Sid looked at Frank
Silence for a minute
Gormless both men.
"Slug ate my lettuce"
Sid pointed to a corner near his shed
"Eeeeeh, well tha' knows what that
means don't ya?"
"What's that then?"
"Time for a cuppa tea Sid"
"Best put kettle on then"
"Strange things them slugs aren't they?"
"Pity, poor little buggers lost their
shells, eh?"
"Shells?"
"That's Snails"
"Nails?"
Sid looked at Frank
Frank looked at Sid
Without gorm, both men
sat down in silence.
