THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM

 

The early bird gets the worm

Isn’t that the correct term?

Well I have some advice to give

The late worm gets to live

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – HOSTILE WITNESS (1969)

 

“Hostile Witness” is a Courtroom Drama, screenplay written by Jack Roffey based on his own play and Directed by Ray Milland .

 

In this extremely enjoyable courtroom drama, the daughter of successful Barrister Simon Crawford (Ray Milland), is killed in what appears to be a hit and run accident.

However, the police are unable to find the culprit, and Crawford swears that he will find the driver of the car and take revenge.

Later when his neighbour (a high court judge) is killed in a staged burglary, the blame falls on Crawford, after a letter is found implicating the neighbour in the death of Crawford's daughter.

When it comes to trial he is defended by his junior Sheila Larkin (Sylvia Syms) but after many twists and turns he ends up defending himself.

As you may expect from such a film, there is an unexpected twist at the end.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

You’re the most disheveled cat I’ve ever seen

How did you get covered in cobwebs and dust?

Come sit on my lap and you shall be fussed

BEST BEFORE 1980 # 4

I use the phrase “the one from the tv”

To describe actors or celebrities

I also use it to describe what I’m looking

At the supermarket or the Deli

HE SURVIVED MUSTARD GAS IN BATTLE

 

He survived mustard gas in battle,

He was pepper sprayed by a policeman

And the result of those traumatic events

He was rendered a seasoned veteran

SWITZERLAND

 

I’m not sure what the best thing is

About Switzerland, and I’m not fussed

I don’t know enough about the country

I do like the flag, so that’s a big plus

CHEETAH AND LION

 

I saw a cheetah being

Chatted up by a Lion

I thought, “He’s trying

To pull a fast one"
