255. Brylcreem days
no joke –
that is the cleanest
speaking clock in the world.
no effin or jeffin with her,
except once she did call me
a lazy good-for-nothin bastard
or was that the Duchess ?
not like that foul-mouthed
cuckoo clock
at the barber’s –
told me to fuck off he did
last time I was in there –
it’s not like I was trying to
wind him up or anything.
