'Perhaps we need to lay a complaint against the Trucking Shifty company. Their habit of dumping loads at people's doors is a little inconvenient. I suspect it may have had something to do with my parishioners getting dicky tummies.' 'You think?' One had to wonder how the man had graduated from theological college. 'Why don't you take it up with them? They may listen to a 'learned' scholar,' I said sarcastically. 'Well ...' he actually blushed, 'that's very kind of you to say, but ...

Feeling Good ~ Muse

straight out of the

to volunteer at Johnny and Rosie's Cat Cafe. He was sure he could round up a few more ne'er-do-wells who needed gainful employment. However, that would have to wait. He was heading back to the vicarage to track down his hefty volume of 'Perspicacious Theological Apologist Debates the Existence of God vs Atheism' by Ino Imright. Heaving it into his backpack, he trudged back to the cafe to ...

Red Roses For A Blue Lady ~ Bert Kaempfert

with at least three

were perched on the bench watching and waiting for any wayward, escaped spaghetto. Rosie came in like a little thundercloud with bits of lightening escaping. 'The Vicar is drunk, Johnny! And he's been making very suggestive remarks! Do something!' 'Gladly, my love, I've been waiting for the chance.' I marched up to him and ...

like a rooster's comb. 'Goodness Vicar,' she giggled, 'you're a veritable lady magnet today, aren't you just!' The Vicar blushed and simpered, 'Oooh you are such a tease. I'm looking for that hubby of yours, just the little matter of his generous donation of burgers for the less fortunates. Went down a treat!' 'But what about all the complaints of food poisoning, I've been so worried about it.' 'Weak constitutions, I'd say, I ate six and ...

Sounds nasty. Hope you're all feeling much better very soon xx 😘

Sweet Baby James ~ James Taylor

from Frankee and Johnny's

oh why are you always have to be getting us into these complicated and risky situations? I'm beginning to think ...' 'Never you fear, my love, I've got it all in hand! (which wasn't entirely true, but sitting in Frankee and Johnnie's bar I'd had a lightbulb moment). You see it's true I ordered all those burgers for the dear vicar, it was a thank you for his generous donation of all that cat litter ( blast his dastardly soul). And I was thinking of all those dear little boys, such a treat for them. But it's not my fault they caused food poisoning! And I'm certainly not paying for substandard goods. The health department need to take it up with The Greasy Spoon. As for Daddy, well...

Say a Little Prayer For Me ~ Dione Warwick

Johnnie's Liquor Store, a good place to drown my sorrows. Things hadn't been going well for me lately and a few slugs of Frankee's illicit whisky would be bound to perk me up. Several hours later I ambled home, none to steady on my pins. Rosie was waiting up for me, a look of ...

You Are My Sunshine ~ Bing Crosby

However, now you have made yourself known to us, and we have your caller details, you will be receiving a visit from us shortly.' Well that just put the icing on the cake! Maybe ringing the cops ...

I Remember You ~ Nat King Cole

Rosie stood there, wet, cold and bedraggled. We had missed the last bus and been forced to hitchhike. Unfortunately, no-one stopped and we'd walked the whole way, 10 km, in the pouring rain. To add insult to injury, Betty's cake shop had been closed. 'He can call his own damned ambulance!' she cried. 'Serves him right.' The worm had turned! 'Go and have a hot shower love, get into your onsie and I'll make you a nice cuppa.' For all today's misfortunes, I felt that at last ...
