"Johnny- Handlebars"

Posted by Cavalcaderl on July 16, 2009 - 20:24

Johnny handlebars was coming home from his opera nic-name because of his ginger moustache turned up at the ends. He was a very fat jovial person had to be sing "If I were a rich man from"Fiddler on the roof" Johnny was wearing evening coat trimmed with blue edging and a black hat and cane with a silver horse's head top, his smile lovely
apart from his bad teeth. Johnny had been drinking as he made his way to Victoria Station it
started snowing hard the ground was very slippery
he was sliding as singing "Ten Green Bottles" hanging on the wall and he came across three men
thought it was a vision! first man Tom and friend Peter were sword fencing showing of there skills
but Peter kept saying "I'm better than you Tom" jealousy was starting to get in so Peter was jabbing Tom very hard indeed "Ouch" ! he cried that really hurt". It was fun at first but got out of hand red blood was dribbling all over the snow Johnny handlebars edging them on but Peter the fencer had won a cup for his sword fencing
he shoved the bronze sword at him he was laughing and fell down and struck his head hard but it had sobered him up! Johnny managed to get up and said
said "stop tom foolering around"
to late ambulance was on it's way poor Johnny handlebars had a broken leg a passer by on a mobile called for ambulance Peter had a black eye
Tom was only one not injured enough go to hospital
"I was s go-wing to as -k yo-o all come for a black co -ff -ee" in his drunken drawl to stop all this and say sorry as they all laughing! about stupid jealousy and drink factor of friendship nearly gone.

Hi Julie - I really love the title of this - I think it's great. I was expecting a story about a cyclist or something but this was just fine and dandy and surprising (even better ;-)) ;-)

Anyway, just wanted to say that I think titles are really important and I wish I had thought of this one myself ;-). Great stuff :-)

It's not what you have makes you
happy! It's what you can or do
for others. To much a material world
now.the essential things don't seem
to matter now,People,and aged,
Hospitals no care if families not there
to care.and community joined all in.
Someone visit others if ill.
Is that the world now.
