MR KETCHUP'S FORGOTTEN BIRTHDAY.....

MR KETCHUP'S FORGOTTEN BIRTHDAY.........

A Story by ROSALIND

Mr Ketchup had quite forgotten what day it was...

Poor old Mr Ketchup was so down in the dumps
as nobody remembered it was his birthday.
and O dear tears began to roll down his cheeks
like water from a tap, in fact he cried that much
that he went through umpteen packs of tissues.
His face looked like a big red quashed tomato.
and if that wasn't bad enough his hair looked like
he'd been dragged through a bush. O bother he moaned
its no use feeling sorry for myself I am not getting any
sympathy, from the cat neither.
a wee while later after he had found his old torn rain coat
and musty old wellingtons boots off he trotted down a steep hill to yellow market to buy himself something for his birthday.
You see he just couldn't help himself Mr Ketchup had to be the cent re of 
attention and he certainly wasn't getting any from his friends
had they forgotten all about Mr Ketchup's birthday.?
well perhaps they might have,!!!
wait a second what day is this is it Saturday
Oh fiddle sticks this is Friday and it isn't my birthday until tomorrow
Oh what a silly sausage I am he grunted to himself
fancy that in that case I better put these things back, I won't be
needing the presents anymore and I cannot afford to waste my money
on pointless things.  Knowing haggis and neaps they will probably spoil
me rotten I knew something wasn't quite right it would be most unusual
for Haggis and Neaps not to remember my birthday and who knows they might even throw in a surprise  birthday party..
Mr Ketchup began to get very excited about is birthday at least he didn't
appear to have a face like a quashed tomato.
Oh dear Mr Ketchup You are such a funny person what are we going to do
with you.
