Pork

Mark arrived at the party dressed as a pig.
An overeager David spotted this.
Mark fled.
A 12 mile chase ensued.
David started flagging.
His face dropped.
Oceans formed in his eyes.
Mark turned back and offered to take him to a pub.
There David bought a bag of pork scratchings,
And looked forlornly at Mark's discarded mask.

Defeat

Humbrol fell in love with Claudia.
Claudia loved Ron.
Ron's magnificently large arms made it difficult for Humbrol to exact revenge.
Claudia promised Humbrol it wasn't just about the arms.
Humbrol wiped away the tears on his noodle of a bicep.
And Ron hauled Claudia into his bulging muscles and carried her over the horizon.

Atmosphere

Barry put on a helmet and pretended he was an astronaut.
Occasionally he had to tell his wife to shut up.
Because he was in space and there isn't the atmosphere for those sorts of things.
And his helmet lacked the facilities for communication.

Outrage

'I don't like this very much'
Muttered Fred,
Sternly to himself.

Hand

John fell in love with his hand.
He liked the convenience.
But he found out he wouldn't be allowed to marry it.
He punched the wall,
And couldn't work out if he should call the police. 

Sheep

Jan gazed at his lone sheep.
Pondered getting another.
'I have a sheep'
Didn't sound right,
He thought.

Agreed

'That's right'
Said Phil,
Clueless.

Tax

The bank robbery had gone well.
Giles wondered whether he should include the earnings on his tax report.

Entangled

Joan got roped in too.
Unbelievable.
She never imagined herself standing there.
Shovel in hand.
Coated in soil.

Lineage

Harry's son Harrison.
Married Barry's son Barrison.
And they adopted a daughter.

Game Night

Potter was outraged.
He began eating the little tokens.
Chomping chunks off the board.
Insisting he had grasped the rules.
That everyone else was wrong.

Zombie

James got vomited on by a zombie.
He hated that this happened.
He wished he would have died instead.
He didn't want to be cleaning zombie vomit out of his hair.

Crossword

Ben set to work on his morning crossword.
But Ben was thick.
So it took all day.
And he had to apologise to his boss.
