Sold: The Pink Hephalump One

Picture the scene..

You wake-up one morning still walking,
yawning sounds of Amsterdam around you,
salty fragrance of a night's excess clinging to your hair,
your clothes.

You reach into  your pocket,
pat your jacket for the shake of a matchbox,
for the McGuinn jangle of your bordello-boarding house keys,
met only with a semi-solid thump of an unexpected
lump in your jeans
pocket.

Reaching in you look around,
stragglers still trying to wipe the condensation from windows,
trying to peep at long gone

girlza 

girlza 

girlza.

Sound like they are from Dublin;
party people.

You look down at the half-forgotten lump you are
grasping in tar-stained fingers and
see the glitter-sparkle of an elephant's arse.

Smell the faint traces of vanilla tobacco,
realise that it is a Jooky little amp you are holding -
neat, little thing, it raises a half smile.

Perhaps you could busk your way home,
that could be fun.

You look around for a long gone Rickie,
then remember Paula.







Unfortunately, you can’t buy The Pink Hephalump One, as somebody nice beat you to it.
