Forgiveness

I wanted
to write something new today as I’ve skipped a few days due to the pain
monster. So I hadn’t thought what to write, sorry talk to you about. I’ve just
seen the end of the Johnny Cash film so when it finished I thought there’s a
theme, forgiveness.There’s all kinds of forgiveness, and I’ll see where the
words take me, so if you are sitting comfortably, or if you have finished that
bottle of vodka Boris then I’ll begin, can’t you put something else in your
mouth?
Now on a
point of comedy I don’t need to say any more to Boris, as if I said this or
that you’d all think of the other, so sometimes you don’t even need to say one
word as the audience or the reader is ahead of you,or with you. Which reminds
me of an old Les Dawson joke, but you can google and Utube him for yourselves.
Les was my size but wider and not as tall, if that’s not a contradiction in
terms, and sometimes he was dressed as an ugly woman forever rearranging her
busoms, in the best Panto tradition. So forgive me for sidetracking myself.
Now I’ve
taken off my mother’s old clothes and am sat naked here talking to you via the
computer, luckily I have no camera or you will all be sick over your screens.
This is the joy of radio comedy, you have this mental picture in your mind
which is always far better than a tv image. So do you forgive me?
How many
times do you forgive your girl for cheating with the milkman or the postman,
until it is you having the special delivery 9 months later? Are girls not
allowed to cheat? Men cheat but girls cannot, that’s the rule, men are in
charge after all. Is that what you believe? See I’m asking you to question
yourself and your beliefs. This culture is better than that culture and so on.
Or do you think we are all naked and equal before God, that’s if you believe in
any God.
See I was
almost serious for a sentence, but you prefer the comedy so I’ll ask you to
follow me down the garden path, past Gill from Stats MR my old university of
mirth. You will forgive some but not others, why is that Because of the twinkle
in their eye, like Jim I know, his twinkle allowed him to get away with a lot
more that the average person. Or that girl’s smile would melt any heart and
allow her to get away with blue murder.
I’ll
never forgive those bastards they drunk the last of the milk in the staff
fridge. I’ll cut their balls off. Obviously she didn’t, she just peed in the
milk bottle and left it there for the night shift crowd to find. The next
morning there was a note on the fridge from the night shift. An apology? NO.
Just a question, where could they buy such delicious milk again. So she did the
same trick, left her pee in the fridge, and again a similar note the next day.
This went on for a week. Till finally a clear blue pregnancy test was glued to
the fridge door. Congratulations you are pregnant.
Did she
forgive the prankster? She stopped overnight to confront him, only he had such
a twinkle they ended up making love in the paper store. And yes then she really
was clear blue, but she did forgive him.
My
brother actually did do something similar, he peed in the bottom of the old
glass pop bottles, because he knew I always drunk the dregs. I suppose it was
his revenge for me putting a red hot poker on his leg, other that that we were
very close, well close enough to put a poker on his leg. At least he did not do
an Edward II on me.
Forgiveness
comes in many forms, big and small. After wars great forgiveness is needed,
political movements are needed, and the EU began as a effort to heal the
divisions on the European continent. Though now some would say the EU hates the
UK for being the child that says the Emperor is naked. And will never forgive
us for breaking up the party. Though History tells us that nothing lasts forever.
I shoved
in a serious paragraph to get you thinking. I’ll finish for tonight with the
most obvious of statements. The person you need to forgive the most is
yourself. Look in the mirror and change if you like. We all need to let go and
forgive. I did not say the right thing today, or yesterday or these past few
years. People misunderstand me and I’m too old and tired and sick to waste my
time explaining things. Why is the world so fast nowadays.Nobody listens.
We can
only do our best, and each new dawn, whether or not we watch from the night
shift window over the Blues ground for 14 years or just a random morning when
we get up early for a pee, each dawn
gives us a chance to forgive ourselves and everybody we meet. Without
forgiveness we have a cancer inside us, like rotten cheese we forgot to take
out of our shopping bag. We look high and low for the stink but cannot find it,
finally its in the back of an old cupboard. And yes 25 years ago I really did
have a rotten cheese in a bag, really no metaphor.
So laugh
at Michael Casey the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham
England. If you are laughing at this now wherever in the world you are then you
have Forgiven me my Trespasses. If you you can forgive me the stupid writer
then you can forgive yourselves. Then Boris and Doris can stop leaving pee in
the fridge, and make love and babies, but please get a room you are squashing
all the paper, how can I write stories on squashed paper?
