We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

My heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains  
My senses, as though an anteater I’d seen  
(_panic spreads and the audience half rise_)  
A nasty long-nosed brute  
(_screams from the audience_)  
With furry legs and sticky darting tongue  
I seem to feel its cruel jaws  
Crunch crunch there go my legs  
Snap snap my thorax too  
(_various screaming women faint_)  
My head’s in a twain, there goes my brain  
Swallow, swallow, swallow, slurp

We have to protect the public! People aren’t going to think there’s a real frog in chocolate. Constable Clitoris thought it was an almond whirl.

At 10:30 every morning Ken arrives at what he thinks is the gym. Sometimes it’s a sweetshop, sometimes it’s a private house. Today its a hospital.

I AM NOT A LOONY! Why should I be tarred with the epithet “loony” merely because I have a pet halibut? I’ve heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabarro has a pet prawn called Simon, and you wouldn’t call Sir Gerald a loony, would you? Furthermore, Dawn Pelforth, the lady show jumper, had a clam called Sir Stefford after the late Chancellor, Allen Bullock has two pikes, both called Norman, and the late, great Marcel Proust had a haddock! If you’re calling the author of _À la recherche du temps perdu_ a loony, I shall have to ask you to step outside!

The BBC would like to apologize to everyone in the world for that last item. It was disgusting and bad and thoroughly disobedient, and please don’t bother to phone up because we know it was very tasteless, but they didn’t really mean it and they all come from broken homes and have very unhappy personal lives, especially Eric. Anyway, they’re all really nice people underneath, and very warm in the traditional show business way. And please don’t write in either because the BBC is going through an unhappy phase at the moment, what with its father dying, and the mortgage, and BBC2 going out with men.
