I see a #bonny lassie
In meadows of gold and green.
She sings so faultlessly serene.

Fair maiden that she is,
Hearts of men she aims to keep
And visit their dreams as they sleep.

All is not as it seems,
For the bonny lassie is not so clean,
But slightly mad and craves the spleen.

β€œHave you seen my daughter’s horse,Hargreaves?”
β€œCan’t say I’ve seen #Harmony’s horse. I presume it’s not in the stables.”
β€œOh yes,Hargreaves.I’ve not looked in the one place where the horse lives.”
β€œJust saying.”
β€œWhat about you,Davenport? Have you seen the damn thing?”
β€œCan’t say I have.”

β€œWhy are you dressed like Indiana Jones from Temu,Sir?”

β€œWe’re going on a #quest, Hargreaves! A most daring quest!”

β€œI’d rather not. The last quest we went on, we were held prisoner by a gaggle of Nazi flamenco dancers.”

β€œThey were fascists.And they were damn good flamenco dancers, too.”

Not a proper one no.
It’s not something I’m looking at yet.

β€œI’m not #obsessed, Davenport. I have a medical condition. I have a doctor’s note and everything.”

β€œFrom who? Dr. Dre?”

β€œYou incessantly mock my OCD. If I hadn’t had my feelings removed at birth, I’d be hurt.”

β€œObsessive Carrot Disorder isn’t a thing, you utter cockwomble.”

β€œOff somewhere nice, Sir.”

β€œI’m going to a place where the grass is green and the girls are pretty, Hargreaves.”

β€œParadise City?”

β€œNo, you imbecile. I’m going to Velo City. Davenport recommended it.”

β€œAnd she told you to dress like that?”

β€œShe says it’s customary attire.”

I’ve edited a 47,000-word story to death, and now I’m deleting it. I just can’t seem to get to grips with it. It won’t behave, so I’m starting fresh.

β€œHave you seen an #orbital sander around here, Hargreaves?”

β€œI think it’s over there in the tool chest, Miss Davenport. Are you partaking in some woodworking, perhaps?”

β€œOh, no, no, Hargreaves. I’m giving Sir his annual back, sack, and crack makeover.”

Tonight is my writing course, and we will be critiquing my story, McBeth, which is based on the theme of wants versus needs.

Have a look and see what you think:

β€œThe universe is well and truly fucked now, Hargreaves.”

β€œWhy, Sir?”

β€œIt looks like Davenport has finally gone interstellar.”

β€œWhat did you make of my #stellar performance of Hamlet, Hargreaves?”

β€œIt was… how do I say this… quite memorable, Sir.”

β€œFor all the right reasons, obviously.”

β€œI think the audience were expecting a traditional performance of Hamlet, not a Rocky Horror Show–inspired one.”
