NC (name changed as I don't want this to be outing)

A rhythmless man at church has said he wants to put on a concert to raise some money for shoeless orphans. We shall call him A.

A said to B that they have money to help. B said that the last concert raised some issues but would support them none the less.

C said she didn't want to be forgotten.

Who is BU?

Grin I'm lost but this thread is hilarious

I feel bad for the orphans but surely a b and c can work it out for the good of the children?

I agree this should go to classics Grin

I can see C’s point then. He’s a great drummer and he’s being made to turn up to regular practices with A, who despite (presumably) turning up for the practices still lacks rhythm, and is in fact so bad that his drumming attracted zero donations last time. And in the background B’s just there being negative. Definitely forget about A and B and make C the star of the show. I know the other problem last time was the noise but just get all the guests to turn their hearing aids down a notch. Problem solved.

Where can I buy tickets OP? Sounds unmissable. Is there dancing as well?
Are you the agent? Or the vicar? Or from the local Bat Protection Society?

Ooh er.

pinkgirl1234 · 28/08/2018 21:56

I'm scared of chickens.

Which I know is batshit.

nowayishere · 28/08/2018 21:56

@mummy. No dancing. Last time a lady did some contemporary dance involving ribbons. It was unsavoury at best.

I RTFT again Oddcat and I get it now! Grin

Claw001 · 28/08/2018 21:58

African drums and ribbon dancing! Hahaha!

nowayishere · 28/08/2018 21:58

@magic. C doesn't drum. A once invited his friends to do some African drumming and it was too loud.
You should hear A with a tambourine. Awful.

I think I can bring some insight. A and B need to share the tambourine duties to satisfy C. The organ needs to be put in the loft so that all the shoeless orphans can finally have their tuna sandwiches and macaroni cheese.

Forget the chickens... they'll be happy reproducing with the bats.

Oddcat · 28/08/2018 22:01

Some orphans needed new shoes

The Op asked MN to choose

African drummers are a no no

There's chickens a go go

And hundreds of bats and their poos.

Claw001 · 28/08/2018 22:03

I just wish people would think of the children

Wtaf have I opened here? Thought I’d taken too many painkillers for the first 4 pages 😱

PerpendicularVincent · 28/08/2018 22:04

Could the rhythmless man take dancing lessons?

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 28/08/2018 22:04

oddcat you are my hero.

Can they ditch the drums and book you for a bat themed poetry reading?

SylvesterTheCat · 28/08/2018 22:05

The chickens have an amazing power

because the tambourine clangs in the shower

But the batshit tastes nice

And C will think thrice

When all the chickens sing the chorus in the tower.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 28/08/2018 22:05

Welcome booboo you won’t regret it

Well yes. It would be.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 28/08/2018 22:05

With unsavoury ribbons?

nowayishere · 28/08/2018 22:06

Your poems are nice but we are used to more traditional odes.

Ode to joy

PerpendicularVincent · 28/08/2018 22:08

Maybe the Village People could teach them the moves to YBCA

Oddcat · 28/08/2018 22:09

Namechange I think my poetry is too high brow

Claw001 · 28/08/2018 22:12

Is C a minor?
