The royal boil

By Payl Dowswell

Royal Princess Joyce had a loyal boyfriend called Floyd. Tomorrow would be their wedding day, and Joyce was overjoyed. Floyd was not a happy boy and the reason was quite simple. He had a boil upon his nose- it was much bigger that a pimple.

Said Floyd, "The guests are sure to point, they will probably avoid me. This boil will spoil my wedding day. It really does annoy me." So Floyd made an appointment to see the royal nurse, but her poisonous boil ointment just made the boil worse. Said Joyce, "Your only choice, dear Floyd, is to grit your teeth and pop it. Or else, dear boy, the wedding's off. So do it now…or hop it."

"Crumbs- I'm all thumbs and my knitting's in a knot," said Christine getting cross.
