This is how the story begins:
In a dark, dark town
in a dark, dark street.
In the dark, dark street
there was a dark, dark house.
In the dark, dark house
there were dark, dark stairs.
Down the dark, dark stairs
there was a dark, dark cellar.
And in the dark, dark cellar
some skeletons lived.
There was a big skeleton.
A little skeleton.
And a dog skeleton. *Woof*.
And that is why my blog has its name. Misremembered words from my favourite talking book, book and TV programme when I was a little girl, Funnybones. I remember my lovely mum reading it to me and my brother over and over again and us both screaming ‘some skeletons lived!’.
Burglar Bill was brilliant too: ‘I’ll ‘ave that.’ The most moral burglar in the land.
