Oh boy! More great submissions from my darlin's! Time for more Silver B.L.O.B. slingin' ;-) --

To Matthew Edwards for a fantastically funny moral for this story with:

So don't you go a rambling; you'll be cut down in your prime,
You'll be lying in a landfill tip long before your time.
The moral of this story is - remember if you're able -
Post your Christmas gifts in time, and don't forget the label!

To Genie, for this giggling inducing bit of sybling sniffery:

Little sister, is it worth it--
This revolting, tiresome chore
Just to find your f**king ashes??
You were always a little ... er ... bore!!

To Sonja for this bit of fantastic rhyming verse:

"Look here," said Judy, "could this be our dear departed Rita?"
Cried Marvin, "No, it's just a decomposing Weekly Reader."
"This dump," said Judy, "is so full of yucky, foul detritus
And any remnants we may find just might be sister Rita's."

To mo chara derrymacash for these bits of 'Little Willie'-ish, guilty giggle giving verse:

Now Sister Judy's built a shrine
Got a little light that shines
My remains are on display
Until Judy's dying day

AND

But when she thought the box was from Wal-Mart, she panicked
Took us two days to find those ashes
I spray painted "Not from Wal-Mart"
All over her poor dead sister's ashes
Cos Judy's afraid of Wal-Mart

And to Fibula Mattock, for a beautiful summing up of the dear sisters' parts with:

And as for the box, well we found it at last
But by that stage the best part of Christmas had passed
But we took her back home and we cleaned her up fast
To make sure she "remains" in the family;
But if you are tempted when Christmas comes round
To put your relations six feet underground
Remember to check where the buggers are bound
Or have a hell of time trying to find them.


Wow! You 'Cats are starting 2002 off with a real bang!!
