Treasure Island Alternative Version.

[Bob Bull]

One dark night in Chelsea a burglar broke into Bellinger Towers to steal the famed Bellinger Gold hoard (Jack's wallet). Suddenly, as he crept through the gloom of the silent castle a voice said

"Jesus is watching you."

Terrified by the unexpected noise the burglar queried in a quavering tone.

"Who said that?

"Saint Peter!" Came the reply.

Switchinng on his torch the intruder spied a parrot sitting on his perch.

"You stupid bird", he cried, "I nearly died of fright, any way what sort of idiot calls his parrot Saint Peter?

The parrot smiled and said.




"The same sort of idiot who calls his rottweiler Jesus!"

[Mary Lindsay]

Jolly Jack, Merry Mary, Boisterous Barry and Twinkling Tim suddenly came upon the treasure and gathered up the priceless Morgan spares. They roared off into the distance with cries of Happy Christmas Everyone!
And they all lived happily ever after..............

[Bob Bull]

................. but it was Christmas Day, and the pirate crew all woke up very early and rushed to the maindeck to look in the socks they had hung on the jib boom. Excited cries filled the air as they examined the new flintlocks, cutlass's, Jolly Rogers, headscarves, wooden legs, hooks, eye patches and I pods that were unwrapped, with gaily coloured paper in profusion flying in the howling gale that was blowing from the North.

After the initial jollity they all settled down to a traditional Christmas dinner of roast parrot and all of the trimmings beautifully prepared by the lovely Mary and her faithfull partner, who was also very hungry so 'Wax' Jack eat.

Following an afternoon of fun filled with traditional games like Walking the Plank, Swinging from the Yard Arm and Keel Hauling, they all sang a few verses of
Sod You Jerry Mental Men, before sailing in to the sunset ..........................................

(Until next year)

Well they do say it is not over until the Fat Lady sings.

The good thing about that Mary, is we wont have to listen!!

[Mary Lindsay]

No Jack, but we will hear the dogs howling in the locality from everywhere in England, unless of course Bob is now going to tell us that as well as being an international cycling and tennis star he is also an opera singer

[Bob Bull]

Funny you should mention that .....................

[Mary Lindsay]

Do you mean you will sing opera for a tenner?
Or are you a mate of Barry Tone?
