Creativity breaks out at the Library

Being inbetween festivals is no reason for staff of the Geraldton-Greenough Regional Library to relax. The following gems were created at a recent staff meeting where the muse of the alphabet struck and no-one was stuck for words!

A bodacious cat dug ever fervently growing hystrionically irate just knowing last meal's nearly out. Poor quiet rodent sat teetering unver view without exit yonder zone. (Karen)

A boy called Darren's evasive family granted him independence. Joshua, Kaitlin, laughing merrily, nostalgia overflowing, pondered questions regarding Sonny's teacher. Universal vagrant, William, xylophone yobbo; zonked! (Emma)

Arnold Black-Cat decided even furry gophers have, inside, just killer lemmings.
Mighty noodles, of possibly quail, really satisfy tummies, unless very weird xylophones yearn zebras. (Simone)

Amy's bouncing child developed enormous feet, giant hands. Irene joined Kindred, loving Mother's nachos, open plate quiches, rabbit stew. Tom understood Verity's weeping xylophone yawning zones. (Betty)

Adriana, beautiful, charming daughter, elegantly fans Gloria's head. "Ice jockeys knit lovely mittens! Needlepoint! Overextended, preoccupied queens! Rot!" she titters. "Umbrella vernacular was x-rated, you zealot!" (Barbara)

Stay tuned, as soon as Rose finds her opus we will post it!
