Kerri Shying R # 14 True Story of another World


True Story of another World

One night some dude rang
to say they’d sent some goons
to bash us

we got bored with being frightened
waiting for them
to come down the drive
so she said

‘let’s ring them tell them  hurry up”
“let’s tell them we bashed each other already and called the cops”
“we wanna know what they look like so we can give a description”

She rang the dude
“get them to bring milk”
we couldn’t stop laughing,
 so hard it made us cry

they never came
thank the lucky stars for Foxtel

  2. Thank you. I rang the person with whom the event was shared this morning and told her it was on the blog, then read her the poem, she laughed and said she was tickled pink. Sometimes it is hard to distil the absolute essense isn't it?
