Very cool, Terry. I like these, and agree that this one is far superior to the source material: "Yikes, do I have a headache! Oh boy, is the old lady gonna be mad at me. I hung out in the gin mill too long."
Loved the reference to Mad Magazine. We waited SO impatiently for each new issue. The language in this excerpt is hilarious. We all thought we were SO hip... we weren't. Thanks for this, Terry

Wow, I've found reading these new takes on old texts absolutely fascinating, Terry - what a corker of a post!
'Mr Moses tells us quite definitely what not to do. But what are we to do? About that Mr Moses remains silent.' Awesome.
Thanks Rebecca! It's such a great idea isn’t it
So much of what I write is doing this kind of writing with the most obvious serial numbers filed off.

tHANKS, sHArRON! oops. I bought it regularly too, and I had several of the books. I wish I hadn't got rid of them now.

I’m in the bushes. The ladder broke.
