October 1st – All that scratching’s making me itch.
Big Eggo was one of us, but he spoiled himself by too often behaving like the Germans on It’s a Knockout.

Bored, with no traction for either of us in our bad poetry competition, Keith and I have taken to setting each other crosswords. Have a go at mine below.
