‘

The heavens have opened. I can’t get my hair wet. There’s a hotel, I’ll pop their bar till it stops.

 

“What’s your pleasure, sir?”

“Just a coffee, please.”

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

Still raining.

“Another coffee please with a  shot of brandy”.

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

Still raining.

“A neat brandy, please.”

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

Almost stopped.

“Another brandy please, a large one”.

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

It’s stopped but it might start again.

“A glass of churd-chord-chardnee, please”

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

The shun’s shinin’, but I haven’t got my shun hat.

“The resht of da bottle, pleash”.

Tic-tock-tic-tock-tick-toc

“Anything else sir?”

“Can I … hic … ‘ave a woom … hic … for the night?”

      That’s good to hear Sadje, just because I find something funny, it doesn’t necessarily mean others will!

    Can’t say I blame him. As least he has sense enough not to drink and drive. I like how you made the tick tock sound.

    Hahaha, Keith you have me laughing at my self trying to decipher what the words mean by the end…but of course they are a reflection of a bit too much whetting of the whistle.

    And all because you didn’t want to get your hair wet! The price we pay for vanity! You had me smiling, Keith.

    It was the first warm coffee that set up the comfort zone. I wonder if the minibar in the room is stocked?

    The coffee was a good idea. A book to read would have saved the cost of the room, but at least that was a good decision. Cleverly done, Keith.

    I was just on pins and needles to see when he’d have a bathroom break. For, surely, with all them fluids, there was a bathroom break! 😉

    🙂 your audio recording reminds me of the stories they tell on the radio. Fun to listen to.
