HO! NOOO! run away (or limp hypothetically in circles).
twas a slightly overcast and a bit whiny afternoon.
a rude ostler twas ambling along, with his balaclava tucked in to his vest; when from the woods came the cry HO NO!....
a chill slowly began dribbling down his left leg, gosh that dose not sound good! putting a bit of pace in to his peddling he began scanning the hedge rows and field edges for signs of movement.
Then the hart rending screen started like the talons of a unimaginable beast from the pits of hell being dragged across the black board of the universe.
as he accelerated so hither too UN-drempt of velocity, from the corner of one eye a glimpse of some thing! coming across the ploughed field, lurching across the broken ground; later in the pub with several large tots of distild liqueur in him and time for reflection he would describe it as, "right fink of a inside out blood sosage, with extra bits n' with this look on its face, if it had one like, sorta not looking at you but staring really hard with it teeth, that it didn't have".
at this precise moment n-ick with the well practised innate timing walked in "i believe you had a spot of bother on the road my good man", a lot of the patrons wear accustomed to n-ick's theatrical manner of speaking.
cutting a dashing figure in yellow tights, massive brimmed hat sporting several clumps as what can only be described as what is left after three birds of paradise have been pulled back wards through a large knot hole in a plank of wood and carrying a copper frying pan polished to a high sheen.
the surreptitious look several of the patron gave each other said "this might be good". How are you then gov? enquired the ostler; I am the n-ick sworn to defend the defencless help the helpless and eat big pies, NOT! necessarily in that order.
after a slightly confused conversation involving some mimicry of the offending beast several rough drawing and a quantity of beer, the n-ick mounted (well fell gracefully on to his stead) and peddled of into the night.
at last the hunt was on for the beast of "that bit of sort of not quite flat land just oar back'er harlington, tover mar way si'thi".
