I have spent the day in a
grey office not the sun so Persistent Writers block has become Chronic Writers
block. It may be the other way round depending on which you think sounds worse.
But I feel I am left with little option but to revisit the good folk of King Street ; a
street where little happens of interest allowing me to write more gibberish.
Very little of interest
happens on King Street
so it did not go entirely unnoticed when Mary or Auntie Mary as she was known
to all on the street was seen pushing a large fibreglass Polar Bear balanced
precariously on an old pram. Do you want
a hand Auntie Mary said Mrs Jones her next door Neighbour, the pair of
them struggling to get the life size Polar Bear up the stairs and into Mary’s
bedroom.
As they sat it down
looking out of the window Mrs Jones’s curiosity finally got the better of her.
. . What exactly do want a life-sized
Polar Bear for? she asked.
Well
its that Mr Hamilton over the road he keeps peering at me at night through his
windows so I got this, I know he hates
Polar Bears. And I have had it modified in the watch repairers in the high
street.
. . .
Modified
?
Replied Mrs Jones looking with interest at the huge beast.
Yes
it has lights in its eyes Look. . . Mary turned a switch on the side of the bear
and its eyes glowed a sinister red. . . .
Its
Winking
said Mrs Jones it must have a dodgy
connection in the wiring.
AH
. . . WELL it growls as well said Mary turning another switch
But as she did so, rather
than growl it made the sound of a large cuckoo clock. . .Are you sure that is right asked Mary
rather alarmed by the sight of a winking Polar Bear going cuckoo . . . . cuckoo
. . . . cuckoo . . . cuckoo . . . cuckoo . . . cuckoo
It
was the nearest thing to a growl the watch repairers had in the shop was Mary’s
response.
And
it appears to be smiling said Mrs Jones
I know it a bloody nuisance that, but I could not
find one that snarled said Mary
That night as darkness
fell and Mr Hamilton wandered up to bed and he went to close his curtains he
noticed a face. Well I should point out it is important to know Mr Hamilton has
terrible eyesight and hearing so it was hard for him to work out who it was. It
was certainly Auntie Mary’s bedroom window he thought and whoever it was, was
smiling at him. Waving back he was responded to by winking and a muffled sound
of Cooooo . . . . . Coooooo . . . . well
it was a bit of a shock as Mr Hamilton thought Mary had always disliked him. So it was that the following morning as Mr
Hamilton headed off to work and spotting Mary he felt confident enough to give
here a cheeky wink and a quick pinch on the bum. Well Mary was so annoyed that she went up to
her bedroom and attempted to kick the Polar Bear down the stairs.
Later as she was approached
by the doctor at the hospital he asked her what had happened to which she said. I kicked that bloody Polar Bear of mine and
we both fell down the stairs. I broke my leg and all it did was wink at me
bloody thing, luckily Mrs Jones heard it shouting cuckoo. . . . cuckoo . . . cuckoo and she phoned for the ambulance. And
then they refused to enter the house because the polar bear was smiling at them.
I’m going to demand a refund once I get back home. . . That Bloody polar bear
has done nothing but cause trouble.
The doctor smiled and
quickly moved to the next patient who had swallowed a goldfish called Derrick.
And I still cant think of anything to write about yet. . . . .
Oh...in that case, I'll come back when you can think of something to write about...
ReplyDeleteI think if you go Miss Lily I am back were I started in the good old days when it was just me and the voids of darkness, a cup of tea and a chirpy smile from the cats.
