With apologies to fans of the proper Jill Murphy version of this tale…
The hour was late
Mr Bear was tired, Mrs Bear was tired and Baby Bear was tired.
So they all went to bed.
Mr Bear fell fast asleep, Mrs Bear didn’t.
Mr Bear began to snore… SNORE, SPLUTTER, GASP SNORE went Mr Bear
"oh no" said Mrs Bear, "I can’t stand this!"
So she went to sleep in the living room….
Tick Tock went the living room clock, (bubble bubble went the fish tank)
"oh no!" said Mrs Bear "I can’t stand this!" and threw teh script out of the window, pulled the battery out of the clock and unplugged the **** fishtank pump thus dispensing with the need to continue working through the house with asorted anoying noises and headed straight to the end of the book…
"did you sleep well dear?" said Mr Bear (sheepishly)
"not very well" said Mrs Bear
"Never mind dear, I’ll make you a nice cup of tea" said Mr Bear
"No ta" said Mrs Bear dispensing once more with the script and heading back to her nice comfy bed for half an hour’s peace before Baby Bear woke her up again.
I’m sure something productive happened today but for the life of me I can’t think what it was (sigh)
