'........................Sorry!' muttered Flossie.
'We were all behind you,' replied Lefty.
'Still my fault,' said Flossie.
'Lads'll stay loyal' replied Lefty.
'Kind of you!' said Flossie.
'And I should have listened more to Hooky,' continued Flossie.
Hooky tapped lightly on the window sill.
'No I should have!' replied Flossie. 'It's just................it's just for a moment it felt like the old days. Proper pirating...like it used to be.'
'And how it will be again,' said Lefty.
And the flock all bleated in agreement.
Don't suppose there's much point in asking for a bit of space?' said Flossie.
'Not really!' replied Lefty.
'So this is it then!' continued Flossie. 'Another spell behind bars to look forward to.'
'Should never give up hope,' said Lefty.
'I know,' replied Flossie, 'but you have to admit there's not much reason for optimism. We're all inside a locked room.'
'Well,' said Lefty, '......................................not all of us!'
'Hmm?' replied Flossie.
'Mum's still out there,' said Lefty.
'So she is!' exclaimed Flossie. '................................How do we get in contact with her?'
'Mum!' called out Lefty. '...................Mum!......MUM!'
'I think you might need a bit of help,' said Flossie. 'All together now lads!'
'MUM!.........MUM!'......................
...............................................................MUM!'
