Mr Wood’s Lawn Mowing- 8

Mrs Wood explained to Mr Wood that on Saturday he should mow the lawn.  When Saturday came around Mr Wood couldn’t be bothered.  Later Mrs Wood asked why the lawn hadn’t been mowed.  Mr Wood explained that he would have mowed the lawn if he could, but the mower needed repairs.  Luckily for Mr Wood, his wife believed his ‘would if I could’ story.

A walking stalk- 7

The stalk of a plant wanted to go for a walk.  He felt lonely and wanted to walk and talk to other stalks.  But the poor stalk was attached to branches and roots.  Even though he wished to walk and talk to other stalks, the stalk was stuck and could not leave.  What a poor lonely stalk.

Ignoring Club Rules- 6

An umpire stupidly ignored the club rules.  Without knocking on the team’s door, the umpire charged into the clubroom to collect the scorecard.  As the team was exiting the door, they collided with the umpires forearm.  The umpire fell to the floor in agony.  The poor umpire’s forearm was sore.  He was rushed to first aid so that they could explore what had happened to his forearm and hopefully return it to how it was before.
