Single Handed

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 34)

https://youtu.be/9jwPyyw3Jos
“Were you close to your mum?” asked Reala.

“Oh aye,” replied the penguin.

“She brought her up single-handedly,” pointed out another penguin.

“Gosh, that must have been hard on you,” said Reala.

“Mmhmm,” acknowledged the penguin. “It’s not easy being the daughter of a pirate.”

Arctic Cricket

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 33)

https://youtu.be/f3eSLyuwMTI
A penguin sniffed and started crying.

“What’s up?” asked Reala.

“Cricket’s just come on your TV,” replied the penguin.

“Her mum abandoned her because of her obsession with cricket,” said another penguin.

“Oh dear,” replied Reala, dutifully turning the television off. “Are you OK?”

“Yeah,” replied the penguin. “It just hit me for six…”

Twitter Quotes

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 32)

“The one about the lie of the land something-something,” said a penguin.

“That doesn’t sound right,” said another penguin.

“What’s up?” asked Reala.

“Trying to remember a quote I read on Twitter this morning,” said a penguin.

“I have a good quote about quotes on Twitter,” said Reala. “‘The problem with quotes on Twitter is that you can never tell if they’re genuine.'”

“Who said that?” asked a penguin.

“Winston Churchill in 1943,” replied Reala.

Asian Tunes

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 31)

The penguin at the back shook her head and rubbed her ear against a table.

“What’s up with her?” asked Reala.

“We were at a concert in South East Asia last night,” replied another penguin.

“Ah,” said Reala, “Singapore?”

“Terrible,” replied the penguin. “The rest of the band weren’t much cop either.”

Tagi Car

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 30)

https://youtu.be/-_WMo1Gbxr8
“We picked the fox up in our spaghetti car,” said a penguin.

“A spaghetti car?” asked Reala.

“Mmhmm,” replied a penguin. “A little Italian number made entirely of tagliatelle.”

“Is that even possible?” laughed Reala.

“You sound like my mum,” moaned the penguin.

“Oh?” gasped Reala.

“She didn’t believe I could make a spaghetti car either,” grumbled the penguin. “The look on her face when I drove pasta…”

Arctic Desert

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 29)

https://youtu.be/WyhgdaNKwA4
“Are you finding life inland enjoyable?” asked Reala.

“Not bad,” replied a penguin. “You know, this pub reminds me of the dive we visited when we walked across the Sahara with that nameless arctic fox.”

“Yeah it does a bit,” said the second penguin. “Proper dump!”

“A nameless arctic fox in the desert,” pondered Reala. “What did you call her?”

“Lost,” snickered the penguins.

Chilly Meat

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 28)

https://youtu.be/Z_6cYw5OegM
“I wonder where Sandra ended up,” wondered one penguin out loud.

“Who’s Sandra?” asked Reala

“The fourth penguin in our troupe,” replied the penguin. “She left us early on due to a disagreement in the chilly northern forests over meat.”

“Oh dear,” said Reala, “what happened?”

“Nothing really,” replied the penguin, “she just got the cold shoulder.”

Moving Inland

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 27)

“OK,” sighed Reala. “Why are you here?”

“We have told the sea we are leaving, and are moving inland,” announced a penguin.

“I see,” said Reala. “What did the sea say about that?”

“Nothing,” replied the penguin. “She just waved”.

The penguins snickered.

Yodelling Penguins

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 26)

Three penguins shuffled into the bar. They stood in such a tightly formed line that when Reala looked at them from the front, it seemed like they were just one penguin.

“Erm,” started Reala, “hello?”

“‘Allo darling,” squeaked the first penguin. “We’re here for a yodelling lesson.”

“I’m afraid I don’t know of any yodelling lessons taught around here,” replied Reala.

“Darn,” said the penguin. “Then we formed an orderly orderly orderly orderly queue for nothing.”

~~~

How does a boomtish sound if performed in the key of yodel?

Snow Slides

Grey Moon – Wednesday (ep. 25)

Reala was freezing. She was sat peering out of the window at three penguins on opposite side of the road.

The penguins then industriously made a snow slide and tried sliding down it. Being made of snow, it fell apart.

They then crossed the road and tried the slide in the Grey Moon beer garden.

Reala caught her breath. There was a punchline there.

~~~

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. There are no depths I will not plumb for a groan!

Also, these penguins turn up in quite a few tales. My editor has declared them her spirit animals. I think I understand…
