The King’s Castration – Part 3 of 3 — 5 Comments

  1. Completely different from what Grandad posted here Kate. Very Pythonesque, slapstick almost. Love it. 🙂 He must have been great fun as a Dad.

    • He had the potential to get silly at times, yes! The stoic veil would lift after a few tipples usually and anything could happen.

  2. This is very similar to a long tale told to me by a sixth-form boy back in the 1950’s. I think it was doing the rounds and Grandad would have heard it. He didn’t invent it! That’ll be one reason why he didn’t post it. (Sorry!)

    • That makes a lot of sense!! I had a feeling it wasn’t his style, but part of me is still glad it’s out in the Internet now. My inner 12 year old feels smug.

    • I was a mere schoolboy 65 years ago and there were a few of thes sagas going about. Parodies of Biblical text, mostly, or mock Shakespeare -with lots of “prithee”, “hence”, and “and verily” . But only this post and your comment, Margo, brought them to mind. |
