Uncle Joe is football crazy

December 14th, 2007

 I had been called to go and visit my uncle Joe.  The next day I went to see him. I took the bus to East road.  When I got to his house, it looked very very old.  I knocked on the door; dust swept into my face as my shaking hand smacked on it.  I was very nervous.  I had never been to my uncle’s house before, he had only been to my house.  He never answered.  I opened the door. It wasn’t locked.  He should have locked it.  There are a lot of burglars in this road.  As I walked in, it smelled like wet leather.  There was a shelf on a wall there were about ten football trophies on it.  On the living room door handle were a pair of boxing gloves.  In a corner of the kitchen there were football boots on top of a sheet of newspaper.  On the counter there was a note saying.

Sorry I’m not here.  I couldn’t miss ENGLAND vs JAPAN,there is a ticket to let you come and see the match.  But if you get here on the 30th of November, thats it, you have missed the match.  Bye Bye uncle Joe.

I went on to look around the house.  I went into his bedroom, there were footballs everywhere.  I looked at the wall, there was an Aberdeen strip on it.  Then I heard a strange creeping noise from the wardrobe, I opened it.  BOO! It was my uncle and he had scared me.  I ran away home.  But uncle Joe had fallen to his knees with laughter. Anyway, it was April fools day.
