But that would only leave the words squiddling and pookie
I know someone else who's convinced it's Danger Mouse.Crikey.
I won't be entering but I will vote this time! I missed the last one while I was busy catching up after my holiday!
:0)

Sent mine in. It'll be the one without the mutant violins!
Mine is in also, thanks to Ignites encouragement.
I'm always happy to encourage anyone Pat. (Even some of these author types!)
The authors seem to have gone quiet. Perhaps they think we are not taking this creativity thing seriously.Perhaps I should take the squiddling reference out. It seemed appropriate at the time.
I'm working on an entry :)
I'm working on an exit!(not really, but its such a good line...)
It has gone very quiet here. they can't be scared, can they? No of coure not! Come on folks Give us a run for our money.
It will be a damning indictment upon our taltented authors if a few jumped-up readers can put them off. Are you submitting your biography then Simon? Fast Women, Loose Cars, was it? Fits the music quite nicely I think!
Fast Food, Loose Bowels more likely!
Well, you've met him, I haven't. I'll be guided by your assessment!
My entry is in......My Bio is still with the proof reader....
s/he is still trying to get it through the google translator but is having problems with the english/canadian facility.
Oiy.You're the one who has been ignoring me all week, Simon.
Jeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz
Tut. And I was trying to be diplomatic by not mentioning your name....
I've submitted to Jud.(everyone does in the end...)

It's that dominant Red Hair gene!
It's the roundhouse kick - it's a slap in the face!

Just spattered all over my iPad. Thanks.
Just to confirm, everyone that has said they have sent their entries in here I have received them! Although I did edit Simon's a bit to make it a little more acceptable.
I have this feeling we are going to know which one's Simon's ;)
It's not the one with singing mermaids and talking animals...

Oh dear, me too!! You could have warned me!! :-)
I have an early entry to share! I'm not gonna mention who wrote it but I love it and wanted to share it, if the author wants they can own up themselves! Thanks very much!The little Mermaid gathered all the little fishes around her. Settling gently onto a rock, she softly sang to them of all the wonders of the land above.
Of the tall majestic trees and the gentle grasses, little fluffy lambs and all the talking animals.
The little fishes listened all agog; to hear the tales she had to tell.
Of the farmyard with the big red rooster and the little brown hens, of the brown eyed cows, and baby calves, which played in fields of green. The woolly sheep with the little lambs, leaping and jumping in the spring sunshine.
How the farmer lived in a large white house, with the thatched roof. And the sheep dogs who worked for their living. All the barn cats that kept the little brown mice from the corn. The cheerful farmer’s wife, who fed the chickens’ daily, was big and round with rosy cheeks.
The little fishes giggled and squirmed to hear such amazing things. The baby crabs listened, their eyes all on tiny stalks at such wondrous things.
The little mermaid smiled and sent them off home to tea, and dreams of magic beings that lived on the land.
When I say early entry I mean it's an unofficial one! It's not being entered it's just for fun :o)
That's the winner in my eyes, since I'm sort of in charge of this contest can I call it off and declare the winner myself?
Yup, if you want to end up in a tin of tuna ;)
No mention of squid so we know who didn't write it.Very good indeed though.
As it is the weekend now is the time to get the headphones on and write your submission......
Why isn't the mermaid one an entry though?
Are we still stuck on 5 entries Jud?edit for ?

Okay, I've scribbled something. Am I right in thinking I have to friend Jud before I can send it? (Still finding my way around...)
You might be able to send her a message without. It depends on what her settings are.
Friending is easiest Tim. Well, I think so anyway. If you're not friends you have to do a silly capcha thing.Just click Jud's name and you'll see where to friend her.
And a dance, Patti, don't forget the dance.

Did you write that Pat? It's lovely!
Everyone can pm me. Of course if it is too good I won't send it to jud.
D.M. Andrews (GoodReads Author) wrote: "I'm trying to work out what old TV series used that music...Thanks, Jud!! :)"
I think you may find it was The Last Song, a comedy series written by Carla Laine Starring Geoffrey Palmer.
I am trying Kath, but it keeps going astray."
So does the tune. That can be a fair point if you wish to make it!
