Keep it Under your Hat
My godfather gave me a toffee apple with a twinkle in his eye,
It sweetens cloudy days, but never ask why!'
We recycled stories, putting sad ones in the bin,
Making new tomfoolery that made us both grin,
The stealthily he farted into his hat,
I curtsied - he departed just fancy that!
Fandango:
Dennis opened the new app with absolute stealth, dodging his godfather’s watchful gaze. He needed to recycle the old wrapper before getting caught. Sneaking toward the bin, he popped the last piece of stolen toffee into his mouth. The rich, buttery sweetness melted instantly, making the risky, silent operation entirely worth it.
Graeme Sandford:
He was the godfather of all godfathers, and he liked toffees; he even had a Toffee App to show him where the best toffees were to be had.
He made his money in Recycling old poems –
“Recycle Poets!
They’re Biodegradable!
Bury one and see!”
His stolen punopoly was known as ‘Stealth Wealth!’
The godfather slipped a toffee into my pocket, whispering, “Download the App before dawn. We must recycle old maps using stealth, because every forgotten route hides hope from ruthless hunters.” I obeyed, smiling despite trembling hands, and sunrise rewarded our gamble with freedom, laughter, lasting trust, forever shared between unlikely friends afterward.
I have a Godfather who invented an App on the dark web you can use this App to recycle toffee while you sneak up on people in some chat room and trying to be as stealth as possible.
The Godfather downloaded an app promising to recycle forgotten memories.
Instead, it quietly returned childhood moments: sticky toffee fingers, secret stealth adventures beneath summer stars.
He closed the screen, grateful that some treasures deserved another chance to live inside the heart, forever untouched by time alone, still shining brightly for generations ahead.
His app was named “The Plant Godfather”, funny but telling headline for Joe’s website. The background was a brown toffee hue to offset photos of greenery. He also used a stealth technique for green thumbs wanting to explore for lengthy answers. Sometimes even recycled information cost a small fee becoming Joe’s income.
Rall:
ask your godfather
how to make toffee apples
while you are at it ask him how to recycle baked beans
they say it is better than asking an app
always approach an app with stealth if he is doing a war dance
in the kitchen and never ask where the feathers came from
A Godfather was chosen, not by blood or default, but picked especially to watch over a child.
He sucked on his toffee as well as his few teeth that hadn’t been recycled to dentures would allow then selected the stealth app on his phone, watching the babe sleep in his crib.
Murray Clarke:
Chat GPT is the most downloaded app, used by everyone – including my godfather, Seigfried. Now sixty-four, the toffee-nosed old git resents the fact that the government has imposed a stealth tax on his considerable wealth. And even makes him recycle the food waste that he used to feed to his seventeen pigs!
Godfather’s Toffee Candy Company was a favorite shop since 1950. Generations of families came there to buy the best toffee in the land. However, there was a stealthy underhanded policy they employed. Whenever someone purchased toffee and followed their app, the information went into a recycle folder, to be sold to other companies.
One Rule
Legend has it that the local godfather had only one rule. “Always recycle!” He’d mumbled this as he chewed his imported toffee. “And you don’t need an app for that, nor do you need to be stealthy about it!” Yes, through word of mouth this passed down in this old Sicilian village.
The Godfather of Green ran his empire quietly—no guns, just gardens. His secret weapon? A toffee‑colored app that taught kids to recycle dreams into deeds. Under stealth of moonlight, he planted hope in cracked sidewalks. By dawn, sprouts whispered his legacy: kindness coded, growth guaranteed.
Lou by the Sea:
The Godfather downloaded the app, ‘instructions in stealth’. His mission – stealing the last toffee from under his husband’s nose. Impossible? The app advises distraction. “I think we should recycle your laptop,” he said, pointing in the opposite direction. Toffee snatched from the bowl. Mission accomplished. “This message will self-destruct in …” BANG!
With stealth she opened up her computer and stared at the app. What would she call her baby and who would be its godfather and godmother? She began to recycle all her bad memories. Sucking on her toffee she wondered if she could be a good mother. She had to put aside her past.
Stealth is required when one plans to recycle the Godfather toffee to one’s personal use. The invisible app is a must as is a dentist appointment.
Susan Batten:
Once my godfather couldn’t chew toffee, the app said it was time to recycle him but he was a nice old boy and after all, he didn’t have to eat toffee, so we took him by stealth one night and left him with his bags and good wishes on the Lincoln road.
The Godfather, a man of wealth
Relied on cheating, lies and stealth
Sold stolen toffees as a kid
When he grew old here’s what he did …..
Designed an app to sell his drugs
Built a family of thugs
Recycled goods. A world of vice
As father’s go, he was not nice
The App-solute Disaster
At the village fair, my Godfather launched an App promising instant wisdom. It only dispensed toffee and unsolicited duck facts. To save face, he claimed it encouraged children to recycle wrappers.
Then a mannequin used stealth tactics, stood perfectly still during the election, and was voted “Most Reliable Citizen.”
Who supplied the poison?” Torres demanded.
He chewed a stale toffee, still refusing to answer her.
She tapped his seized phone. “We recovered your encrypted app from your recycle bin. Your legendary stealth ends today.”
He finally looked up, eyes wide. “The Godfather,” he whispered. “and he is already watching you, Helen.
The urgent email from his godfather included an App and instructions to sign the petition to save the local historical business, Luxury Toffee Company. There was also a link to a news release — Stealth Recycle is in negotiations to purchase the toffee plant property. The structures will be demolished for future parking.
Non-Negotiable
Don Corleone pressed a toffee into the trembling man’s palm.
“Sweetness first,” he whispered, “then business.”
The debt-tracking app on his phone glowed, old grudges recycled into fresh threats. He required no stealth; everyone saw him coming.
“Pay what you owe or I collect… my way. Capiche?”
The man nodded. “Yes, godfather.”
