A cautionary tale using place names9 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
I did not know how narrow the streets are in England, until I traveled there and had to drive the roads. There is an interesting puzzle for the reader as they puzzle over some of the dialect and yeah are able to put it together and understand the account.

Comment from Spitfire
This made me think of Lewis Carrol's 'T'was brillig and the slithy tobes' . This could be a lesson on how to figure out the meaning of a word using context clues. Clever.

Thank you, I was thinking of Carrol when I came up with the idea. Did you vote?
Comment from zanni
This is very funny and creative. I am impressed with how many place names you managed to incorporate. I think we should bring some of them into daily use. It makes me think of Spike Milligan. The end makes me think of Benny Hill or Frankie Howard.

Hi there, Those are really strange names for sure. It's amazing to imagine how they became into being. There will be a story behind each name. All the best of luck, Ulla:)))

I like the way you have creatively taken words and names with distinct meanings and repurposed them in a way that has additional unique significance. This whole piece has the flavor of a well baked colloquial pie. L O L

Comment from Julie Helms
Those are such totally awesome names! I think you cleverly weaved them together into a story, leaving a bit to the reader's interpretation. I know little of England's geography but the picture reminds me of the homes I saw when I visited the Cotswolds.
Great entry for the contest!

Thanks, it was prose in my mind, but I would struggle to see the difference prose and a prose poem.

I think there is also a Piddle in the hole. A little known fact for you JRR Tolkien was a great fan of maps; he got the name Bag End from the village I mentioned Bag Enderby.
