This Morning
“ Jeffrey “ he called, and as I swung around to face the face that lay behind
the call, “ Your son is famous he went on “.
“ Really “ I declared not knowing to whom he referred. “ Which one “ I said, “
Why Robin “ came back the swift reply.
Heavens you are just like him he went on, and so I lowered my voice two
octaves and replied in the customary country way “ Balls “.
It appears that this gent of age way beyond mine is drawn to B5 and put two
and two together and held me deep in conversation upon the local river bridge
as I watched sadly the baker closing his doors for lunch.
My journey was intended to be of but a few paces for my lunch but Oh No .. the
peace and tranquillity of this delightful place has been invaded.
Worse was to come in that the gent concerned informed me that he met with
friends and discussed the coming doom often and that he will keep me informed.
Of course I asked what doom to which I was told the end of the world is nigh
and space is the only solution.
Jesus, had I not been of good stock I was ready to throw him over the bridge,
so silencing him for ever but I thought its Christmas so I spared him.
Jesus Robin have pity on your Father .. do I get no peace .. is this the price
I have to pay?
Love
DaD
