# 6. THE MYSTERIOUS THEFT OF FURRY TOTO FROM DAVID'S CHOCOLATE GARDEN

36 comments

I must admit to having been in league with David for several weeks lately, regarding Toto’s adventures.
We schemed and researched ! Such intricate planning and timing !

David’s wonderful blogs on parks and garden history, show what amazing things can be achieved on GoY, especially with the new user-friendly way to write blogs.

Composing this blog has been an education for me. I’m happy for any member to message me for hints on how to go about writing a blog. I’ll try to help if I can. :o)
For photography in this blog, special thanks must go to my friend, Bertie Bassett lookalike, Mr CLAPTRAP ~ that’s short for ~ Clever Liquorice Allsorts Person ~ Terratoonie’s Royal Appointment Paparazzi.

Mr Claptrap provided most of the photos for this blog, emailing them to me daily, during recent stressful times, to keep up my spirits.
He is currently slightly out of sorts ~ out of Allsorts ?
I wish him a speedy convalescence. :o)

Some of you have already seen on GoY three of my photos relevant to this blog ~ Flower Pot Toddlers in a garden ~ Mr Claptrap taking paparazzi pictures ~ and the third photo he was especially lucky to snap ~ of Toto’s capture by the Flower Pot People.

Sightings of Toto have since been posted by Gee19 and others ~
At one point, in a doll’s house, Toto was spotted on TV. Then another time, Toto was seen again in Gee’s garden, but quickly disappeared. More recently, David wrote a blog because James and Eilidh were hunting for Toto high and low.
Here’s the story of Toto’s disappearance. Enjoy :o)

TOTO AND THE GREAT CHOCOLATE ROBBERY

A FESTIVE FABLE ~ PART ONE

Poor Toto was taken
By Flower Pot Folk.
You think I’m mistaken?
I’m not. It’s no joke.

Just look at that photo ~
No shame and no guilt.
They grabbed David’s Toto
From under his kilt !

They raided his garden
And hoisted a crane.
With no ‘Beg your pardon’
Sped off down the lane.

The deed it was shady
They took David’s chocs.
That Flower Pot Lady
She stole every box.

The journey was gruesome,
By skateboard and train,
And then this odd twosome
Jumped onto a plane.

With Twirls on the menu
They stopped for a meal,
And here’s the next venue ~
Millennium Wheel.

She chose Toto’s headwear ~
A shiny brown pot,
And then out of nowhere
Revealed a big yacht.

My pal, Mr Claptrap
Took photos galore !
With ancient O.S. map,
He hid by the shore.

The plants and the flowers
Concealed him from view.
He shivered for hours,
His Allsorts turned blue :o( !

Then armed with choc. finger
And dog that she stole,
With no time to linger,
Last stop ~ the North Pole !

Sad Toto ! So shocking !
No parties, no pubs !
No Santa, no stocking !
Just polar bear cubs. :o(

Best wishes we’re sending
To Eilidh’s brave dog.
But what is the ending ?
That’s in my next blog :o)

Not sure if Toto a boy or a girl ,
Maybe its that which causes a TWIRL,
Perhaps heading skywards toward the stars,
Onto a MILKY WAY,GALAXY , MARS.

Is there a BOUNTY on Totos head ?
Needing a BOOST to keep getting fed,
Surrounded by chocs getting the MUNCHIES,
Cannot return due to credit CRUNCHIE.

Alone and forlorn TWIX rock and a hard place,
Do we need posters to recognise face?
Is there a chance we ll get a reply
Or has Toto been ' stuffed ' by goy ?

~if we are real SMARTIES we will hatch up a plan!

14 Dec, 2008

Terratoonie

He's one of the boys ~
You can tell by his 'tache
And the way he enjoys
His Cadburys Smash.

But aliens from Mars
Won't drive Toto home.
No Mini Rolls cars,
With the chauffeur a gnome.

To find out the fate
For this poor little dog,
Please make a firm date
With my follow-up blog. :o)

And Arlene ~
THEN we'll have some parties
with our smarties. :o)

I think you GOYs are all CRACKERs JACK! lol
Very well done terratoonie. I see you are a hit. I wrestled my addiction with the rhyming sickness. I watched The Wizard of Oz 45 times sound turned down with the Pink Floyd album 'Dark Side Of The Moon' playing loudly simultaneously to the movie. It worked!

Ah did you eat all that candy yet? I would not mind a finger!

15 Dec, 2008

Terratoonie

Second episode of the tales of Toto is in the pipeline.
Sorry, Pinkfloyd, I ate all the chocolate fingers,but I have a chocolate Twirl bar here. How about that ?

Do you have Maltesers in Canada ? I seem to recall in the USA, they have something called Malted Milk Balls, which look like Maltesers but taste very different. :o(

15 Dec, 2008

Pink_floyd

Yes terratoonie we have Maltesers, they were a fav for my folks when they had Bridge night at the home. I love them. The U. S. of A. carries a lot of candy that we can not get here however we can get mostly everything your country sells over the counter. There are stores here dedicated to just English goods and wares. Cadbury is common here too.
