Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I haven’t the foggiest what’s going on here, but that’s the norm ain’t it.
Meanwhile, another bit of scribbling.
I had heard of a man who lives up the Macgillycuddy's Reeks range in Kerry who makes a magical rose hip based poteen, it is said of this divine liquid that it places one on another galaxy after lowering only one small glass of it.
I made a vow many years ago that I would seek him out and obtain a bottle of his wonderful creation no matter what the cost, but how was I to do this without the wife finding out? she’s always with me when we holiday down there and she keeps a beady eye on what I drink.
To make a fat story thin, I arranged with a local van driver to collect Tom (Not the moonlighter’s real name naturally) and I’d meet him in Hogan’s bar that night, the wife and the daughter were at a bingo session so I was in the clear. After parting with what was to me a very reasonable price considering all the arrangements made, the precious pint sized bottle was in my possession at last.
I went back to the hotel and poured myself a wee dram, no sooner was it down me then I was aflame with poetic inspiration, thousands of strange verses flashed through my head accompanied by wonderful colours and angelic music. I grabbed a pen and while it was still in this state of divine grace I scribbled down this puzzled message from the heavens, I now know how John Lennon felt when he penned “Strawberry Fields” and I remembered reading about when Harrison first saw the words, his immediate reaction was “What the f…k is this then Johnny boy?” Totally unexplainable to any living soul.
I would have gladly passed the bottle around to you all for a swallar, but unfortunately I left it on the train on the way home.

Well whatcha think of that then? definitely out of this World stuff. There within lies a serious message from the Gods, if only I could untangle it I’d know the meaning of life.
