...After a while their voices grew tired, so they rested in the shade of some cottonwoods where they had a nice view of the Back Range. They shared some tahini and rice cakes with the Neighborhood Council. After some chamomile tea, the carbs had sufficiently mellowed everyone...

And they marched themselves up Lefthand Canyon where they stayed a few days and nights camped beside a mountain stream that followed the canyon road. One night a group of miscreants organized by the Boulder City Council drove up in a pickup truck, armed with baseball bats and two-by-fours.
"We don't care much fer you longhairs trashin' our canyon." With that they began to....

When she was momentarily distracted by a group of buskers she saw in the Boulder Mall. However, the high altitude was not conducive to Magic Mud, which evapoates at higher elevations. They were also protected by quartz crystals they wore under their anoraks.

But the witch, travelling via broomstick to her new coven in Colorado, swooped down on the stony figure and caught him unawares.

so gargoyle climbed back to his lofty perch
and showered abuse on all those beneath him, for he was a most learned gargoyle, He had many many books and manuscripts on music and songs and could recall all the versions of the House Carpenter from memory.

"Yes", said the ex-gargoyle, "three years ago, when I was previously a handsome Prince, I encountered a cruel witch while I was traversing an enchanted forest, playing my flute. She said she hated flute music, and cursed me to spout insults instead of tunes. Now that I am restored to my former grandeur, I can once again play the flute!" And he took a flute from his pack and began to play the most irritating ditty you could imagine. "Ouch!" said the little Mudcatters. "And you thought the witch was cruel!"

Back at the Pig and Whistle, the Ploughman's lunch consisted of delicious haggis served on a bed of green beans slathered in mushroom soup. Almost instantly, grumpy Gargoyle was transformed into a handsome, irresistible Prince. How the little mudcatters loved and adored him. "Oh" exclaimed Gargoyle "If only I had known about the magical powers of haggis, I never would have been such an annoying little creature!"

You wouldn't say that if he were a member. Just another example of Guest Bashing...

And the babies grew and grew. And each one learned to the play the banjo and the bohdran. And some even took up bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy.

Poor ole Gargoyle
he wants to shout
From his perch so high
Just a water spout.
Doesnt realize that
the only thing that comes out,
Is rain and pidgeon pooh,
and a wee bit of grout.

If this makes us happy,
we'll add a hip hop beat
and turn it in to Rap, see.
Now the thread has become a music treat.

Oh but the mudcatters loved those babies, and with love and devotion and occasional splattters of mudcat magic mud, they developed into happy and healthy babies who gurgled and smiled and were just ga ga over their uncle gargoyle.

The humpin, and thumpin that night was profound
Then nine months later new mudcats were found.

"Wheeeeee," cried the Jeepster, "They look just like me."
"They, are fluffy, and puffy and with a brain like a pea."

Everyone looked....it was so absurd,
For each single one, was a Jeepster turd.

Why I beg your pardon said the bad old gargoyle as the effects of the magic mud swept over him. What ever came over me to make me do such a thing. I am going straightaway to a degrumping program. Allow me to make amends by taking you to the ploughman's lunch at the nearby Pig and Whistle. mg
