Week 33: the story of A to E

11.
A took a sharp stick
wrote his own name in the sand
the sea washed it out

12.
B bought new mown hay
an accidental purchase
there was much sneezing

13.
C got wooden spoons
stirred all sorts of soups and broths
no-one came to eat

14.
D bought four lanterns
lit one at every corner
still the moon shone down

15.
E discovered fish
found them in an empty tub
pulled the plug and watched

16.
we note five attempts
why even bother judging
everybody wins

17.
five glorious goes
at the game of playing games
we each help time pass
