This was my bedtime drabble from the March gather. I accept no responsibility whatsoever for any tunes running through your head for the rest of the day/week/month
Drabble rules - Your drabble must include the following:
The title of a song (any song you like, but try and choose something that at least one other person is likely to recognise)
The title of a book (again, any book you like)
A proverb...
[This (apart from a few minor scanning problems, which I hope you can bumble over) should fit to the tune of YMCA]
The Gather is in Milton Keynes
In Middlemarch from sixteenth to eighteenth
There’s a guide hut ready waiting for us
Where we’ll go and be so happy
There’s food there, milk and gluten free
There’s Pringles, and dark-side cookies
Come join us and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
Thanks to Vikki, Lesley and Caroline
We know the gather will be so fine
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
We will have a good laugh
We will have lots of fun
We will do lots of yib-bl-ing
There’s a drabble I’ve got to write
To be read out before we say night night
There’ll be stories so much better than this
But I bet I’ll get a giggle.
Vikki, will have her camera
I said, watch out, she’ll have her camera
She’ll take pictures, of each C.B.B.er
Every picture will tell a tale
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
After all girls – just want to have fun.
Gathers are fu-un for everyone.
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
It's fun to stay with the C.B.B.ers
We will have a good laugh
We will have lots of fun
We will do lots of yib-bl-ing
People will have their knitting,
I said some folk, have scary knitting
Nicola, at least one Helen and Dawn
Will sit and knit and yibble
Xanthe girl guide extraordinaire
and Rosie the one with long ginger hair
Will build a campfire for C.B.B.ers
They will light it and watch the flames.
[in a distracted tone]
Flames
Fire
Pretty fire
See the flames
See it burn
Such a pretty fire
Sorry, where was I …

At the gather, there’s fun for everyone one

Gather with the C.B.B.ers
At the gather, we will laugh and giggle,
At the gather, we will sit and yibble
