another day out or taking the pee and getting pricked
ok shall. I explain
I had a GP, doctor appointment today
my tinnitus was raging
but I had to force myself out of bed
imagine you are in a bar, desperate for the toilet
you are small the bar is heaving
100 fat ugly men in the way, and you are a little girl
you have to fight your way to the toilet before you wet your knickers
THIS IS TINNITUS
totally overwhelming
so I run the bath, and but John Denver on my music
and then I splash away
If I had time I'd shave as well
then outside on the landing my cat is clawing at the carpet
this is how Totoro tells us she wants to go out
like in the Great Escape film, she'll tunnel her way out
if you don't let her out
so I get out of the bath and she watches me naked
as I towel myself dry
so readers in Hong Kong as you are so many now
are you wishing you were Totoro watching me naked
or have you all just screamed and dropped the wok
and puked all over next door's dog
gotcha
see I put in the odd sentence to see if you are paying attention
not unless you really do dream of seeing a naked writer
like a naked ape, but hairier and covered in scars
scream
ok stop messing about as Kenneth Williams might say
I order my taxi and go downstairs and let my cat out
then I'm in the taxi with my driver
blocked in articulated lorry
it reminds me of a story
our neighbour 50 years ago had a rich friend
parked a Rolls Royce outside her house
our friend parked his articulated lorry
outside our house and 2 others, it was that big
so
got to the GP and everybody in a queue for Flu jab
i went for my blood test
the Indian man in the queue his daughter is a pharmacist
so it got me thinking
a hockey league, so that professional women
can watch hockey and see the available talent
running around and sweating
yes ladies objectify your future man
and maybe live stream it
just save me some cake after the weddings
Michael Casey the fat silver haired writer in shades
from Birmingham England
he wrote The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker by Michael Casey
AND
that is how I found a husband to help run my 22 pharmacy shops
or my legal practice or my dentistry practice, or my chain of
newsagents
AND if all of them make money then everybody else makes money
restaurants/bars/taxis
Trickle Down economics
after I had my bloods
I met one of the staff booking in Flu jab people
Her face looked like a Russian girl from the local store
could have been her mother, but this was an English lady
I was the last one one in the queue for the dr and flu jab
So
I did a slow strip tease
the doctor look to see which way was the fastest out of the room
maybe a window, we were on the round floor
So he gave me the flu jab after i took my shirt off
He is medically trained so he did not puke at the sight
a naked ape getting a needle in the arm
I bored him about being a writer michaelgcasey
go google but I'm not the economist of the exact same name
I'm the one holding his pussy
so bemused I left the doctor
then i went to fill my sample tube
on the way out I handed it in still warm
to the reception, it'd be sent away with my bloods
A sigh of relief went up from the doctor's surgery
then
I went to annoy the pharmacy shop next door
I bought some mints
and a drug addict had his daily tabs of methanone
then I managed to walk to the bus stop
luckily a man dresses like Mr McKenry
the man on the bike in the Magic Roundabout
he was at the bus stop, I had joked about his name
when we crossed paths in the doctors
so the leather clad biker held the bus for me
so maybe I was a biker chick as I was dressed in drag
NO
just seeing if you are all paying attention
so I got the bus a lucky 13
and this took me home
so no need to struggle up the hill either
as I got off the bus and descended the hill to our road
meeting a very beautiful african baby in a pushchair
Then I was home
after passing conga eel sized pink pipes in the road
the window cleaners were out in force cleaning windows still
I got home and had an instant coffee Kenco smooth
let the cat back in and got a message
a flying visit from daughter no.1
finished my coffee and she appeared
its 2 hours later and she's gone
had to sort out contact lenses here in Birmingham
BUT
I'm so happy she was here fleetingly
and I got to send some door stoppers back to London
for daughter no.2
Simple pleasures
wait till you are a dad
Today is the feast of the Rosary
so thanks mum, for making me a dad, and the rest you all know if you have read
padre pio and me , online
Stay happy always
Hong Kong Thank you
