another day out

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
