Out of the pub window, the digger crawls up and down
A JCB bucket above the local pub,
the fumes and clatter of the street,
a piano in the bucket;

they are building in the street
knocking down a row of houses
enveloping the inner town
on a day with rainwater everywhere, a bitter

November wind, a southerly like this
will have them straining...

that's easier than wheeling one from one part of london to another.
Dig that crazy music!

Ha ha. There wasn't anyone playing it. I would have been worried then.
When Mr P's late granny moved house, they put her piano in the back of a pick-up and stupid here got the (illegal) job of sitting in the back with it. God knows why I had to sit in the back. If it had fallen out it's not like I could have caught it or anything. So I was sitting beside it like I was playing it. Was almost tempted to do a wee tune, but after 3 blind mice and doh a deer I'm stuck.

She was only moving about 2 miles, and it was on the country roads, but we still passed a few folk that laughed out load.

I was so embarrassed.

Were you smoking any herbs with that pint?

Inside the chattered-laid pub, three men
natter and hatchet the week’s events,
An old bull, with his dog, sits up in his seat,
steadies himself for another pint.

He sees the forlorn piano crossing
from across the street, reverberating
No 2sp sitting there playing Three Blind Mice, Zac looks up;
they’ll be after his place next.
DT, where on earth do you get them from? Very good.
(email you btw)

Zacs, it's never the last pint that's the mistake, it's the first one which demands company!

What was the name of the lady who played the piano, Peggy something?
Haven't seen it yet, alba, [email protected]
It was the pure magic of seeing a JCB bucket with a piano in it, and then 2sp's story.....so incongruous.
I remember driving up the Troodos mountains and seeing a donkey in the back of a pick-up.
Those were the days when you could move items on the back of a pickup, but a JCB?! Interesting. :-)

It took ages to send DT, that's the one!
I might try again from my other one if you don't get it. Sometimes I get text messages 24 hours after they've been sent!
I'll keep checking, alba, I'll reply from my main e-mail....
lol NoM, brilliant! (A bit like an advert which was on the telly some time back?)

ooh DT, the expression on the goat's face says it all really :-D
Are you Brahms & Lisst?
Did you find my email, Alba?
DTC's journos are on the job - pictures just in:
