Another Exciting Episode in:


The Adventures of Mr. Piddles,


By Andy James Turner & Little Eddie


 


“Time to put a cork in the Grouse,


And man the ramparts to be on the lookout


For the cunning and enterprising Dr. Never…


He has more faces than the evil Fu Manchu.”


 


                                        AD Author Peter Paton


 


 


From the Diaries of Mr. Piddles


 


 


How in the bloody hell


Did I ever get talked into this?


Me – a full-blooded bulldog,


Posing as a feline – Ridiculous!


 


If I wasn’t so bloody hung over,


I might even howl and laugh.


And Clouseau as Fu Manchu?


I think the man is surely daft.


 


And will you look at James Blond,


With his silly old sailor disguise?


He stands out like a thumb in plum pudding,


What a bloody bloody surprise!


 


Inspector Clouseau actually believes


That Dr. Never will attempt to recruit us,


As filthy henchmen in his bloody plot


For the World Mind Control he truly lusts.


 


And while we now spend our time


Staking out London’s media stations,


The extremely diabolical Dr. Never


Must be filled with joy and elation.


 


He is probably miles and miles away from London,


Plotting something dastardly with his evil witches.


And I’d bet if he has any informants lurking about,


They are laughing hysterically, and in utter stitches.


 


I cannot decide if I should resume my drinking,


Or if I should just crawl back to my comfy bed.


But I fear that if I ever do sober up,


I shall pop Clouseau over his idiotic head.


 


The things a bulldog will do,


For his country and his queen;


The things a bulldog must do,


Are frankly - often quite obscene.


 


To Be Continued…


 


 


My Goodness!  The diabolical Dr. Never seems to be flustering our dear immortal Mr. Piddles more than any other villain he has faced over the centuries.  He gave up drinking way back in the 12th Century, and it appears that he may be heading down that dark and lonely road again.


 


And what of James Blond?  Could his starring role in that feature film have ruined him forever? Could he have gone ‘Hollywood’ on us?


 


And what in the world has become of the once trusted Mod Squad?  They seem to have vanished, just when Mr. Piddles needs them the most.


 


Have all our valiant heroes finally given up?


 


Will pure evil soon conquer the entire world?


 


And what will that extremely dastardly Dr. Never do next?


 


Please Stay Tuned.

Obviously, the dastardly Dr. Never never says never! Piddles, if you have 'one for the road' you will surely end up PAVED, tarred and feathered by some cute English 'bird'.
(Is James Blond a "blond", then? Is Clouseau playing dress-ups?)

should I be nervous? Eeeeek! what next? katy xox.

With Mr Piddles you have a pot-pourri of piddling crimes
in never never land, and poor mr bulldog is paying the price
but I know little eddie and andy pandy will come to the rescue;-)

Thanks for the forerunner Ed...or is it foreplay...hee...hee before that evil Dr Never dons his next disguise...and gets down to his wicked business again..

Call up the Mod Squad , Fu Manchu , Clouseau . and James Bond or maybe even Joan Rivers to put a sock in the mouth of the Glacoo...especially one of Mr Piddles smelly old socks....freshly served after one of his Amazonian escapades .

That should put paid to the scheming Dr Never once and for all me thinks....grin
