Just a bit of mushroom fun...

this is good,
I couldnt work out if it was a poem or prose writen like a poem
I rather like it though, very unusual

so I kick...>> capital So


I like it too. You know you could make it into a full-blown article proper if you wanted.

Its very funny.

It’s a sort of “stating the obvious how to user manual” read in a sort of Postman Pat/Bill and Ben narrator style

I am not sure how to turn it into an article , I did try writing it in the third person but it didn’t sound that good. (any idea's welcome)


I suppose it could be a series in a “how to state the obvious user manual” written with mushrooms in mind.

What’s the secret mowing

Well, the first thing is to go out and look for some grass
The second thing is to go out and look for grass in places where it grows

I go to a field
There is lots of grass in a field.

My technique is to walk around the field pushing a mower
The trick is to cut very low, just above ground level
The first time I tried the blade was too high
I didn’t find any trimmings that day.

When I see some grass, I walk towards it with my mower
If I am on my own, I mow over it without picking it up
If there is someone with me, I point to it and shout
Make room, make room, until they move
Then I mow over it, this time picking it up

Sometimes the grass is hiding under some leaves.
It is very difficult to mow grass under leaves.
If I see a pile of leaves, I use a stick to move them.
Then I look to see if there is a mushroom hiding there.
Most of the time there isn’t.
So I kick the leaves and carry on mowing.

Hey - why don’t you have a go…. Title: What’s the secret in good scouting

The Secret to Good Scouting.

Well first you go and look for articles.
Second you look for article that are in Review

I go to Peer Review
There are many articles in Peer Review

My technique is to click articles with nice titles.
Most articles have nice titles.
Then read the article.
The tricky part is finding what's wrong with it and finding spelling mistakes. I use Word for this.
When I was first a Scout I forgot this. I wasn't a good spell-checker.

When I see a nice article, I click on it
If I am all alone, I read it, write some pointers, and then leave it alone a while.
If I am with someone, I point to it and shout
Come here Come here, until they read the article.
Then I write about it, this time discussing it.
When it's very good I recommend it. This is satisfying.

Sometimes it is hard to comment on an article.
If I don't know anything about the subject, I ask questions.
If the article is boring, I say ways it could be improved.
If the article is just really bad, I'm not allowed to say that.
Most of the time the articles aren't bad
But when one is, I move away from it and keep scouting.



Coo this is easy
I think how to state the obvious user manuals sounds good. Or you know you could do a series of them for The Post or something.
