Beer obviously

Feeling sorry for Cannibal Rabbit and his fruitless dreams of wealth press a $10 commemorative coin into his palm but take it back when the impression becomes apparent

Buy 2 doss houses and a pig sty and take a chance on property speculation.

Lodges objection.

Must finish on a six.

throws a dice.

gets walloped by Speckles who was hit by die and is now a plain colour.

Climb ladder onto Speckless's back and urge him towards victory

Specky gets sidetracked by snake


Move mongoose into top hat and throw arms in air

Realise this was a forfeitable error and await retribution

Eat some orange Spangles whilst leaning on nearest lamp-post

Sings George Formby songs.

ends recital with 'you'd be much better off in a home'

Looks around treehouse

exits for Widdicombe faior

considers 'ukulele'

considers 'devolution'

wonders if, due to application of devolution, ukuleles will in future, according to regional relevance, be knowns as enguleles, welshleles, and scotulele and for those off shore, foruleles.

wonders if BK would forego pointy stick for ukulele tuned sharp?

returns to multicoloured smarty simulacrums with chocolate and psychotropic substances.

stops considering ukuleles

fades out...........

rubs self where prodded by ulstelele (non-capitalised)

craves forgiveness from relevant population

hopes there is a minimum size for 'lele's as fears attacks by mannuleles, jersuleles, guernsuleles and penguleles, not that I've been there but I believe it is very nice.

wonders if Speckles thinks bipedal inhabitants of treehouse are compus mentus?

Ask speckles what he thinks

Apparently he loves every body even those who have trouble with vowels

He hopes the game isn't over as he hasn't climbed a ladder yet

Take him for a gallop on Dartmoor.

He treads on a mongoose.

Return to the Treehouse downcast

Look for Violet Moon

Find her still asleep in comfy chair

Resist waking her as she is a game player nonpareil

Eat some liquorice comforts(sic)

notices OB consuming and presumably enjoying liquorice comestibles

exits with naan bread for interesting dinner

hopes poor joke insurance is still current
