Tuna

The conversation was in full swing.

“And they say his balls have swollen to the size of tubas Hank. Can you picture it, choo-bas!?”

“Choo-bas? – What the hell is a choo-ba George?”

“Oh sorry, a ‘too-Ba’,” corrected George; remembering he was on the telephone to a man who was impossibly old, and impassably American.

“A toob-ba, a toob-ba what!? A two-by-four? A toob-a-supaglue?

“No, a too-ba, the size of his balls; as big as too-bas, they say!”

“Asbigastoobas – what the hell is Asbigastoobas? Is that what they say he has now – is that why his nuts are so damn big? Jesus George, what sense are you making here!?”

“No. His nuts are so big because of the choo-ma Hank, the choo-ma’s what has made his nuts so big.”

“The choo-ma - that’s what made his nuts big George?”

“Yeah the choo-ma, well to you - ‘the too-ma’.”

“The too-ma!? Like the tomb ‘a Tutankhamun!? Or you mean too-na, as in too-na fish sandwich?”

George cut in sharply, “yeah Hank, that’s it, he has a too-ma from a too-na fish sandwich.”

“Really George? Jeez!”

“NO! Not ‘really’ Hank, Jesus. Bloody hell listen, he has tes-tic-u-lar cancer. That’s why his balls are so big. They have tumas, too-mas in. It’s serious."

 George could hear Hank thinking on the other end of the telephone line.



“Imma call you back George.”

The line went dead. 

Stripes Brown (from '...Bounce to the Winespot')

Now pitter-patter a cat - eh?/ That old 
Stripes Brown, Brown sound!/Rounding them
deep down beat squeekers, creepers and creatures,/
reached floorboard hoardes; each moon light marauder/
caught of sorta' saw the sun hawking the town as it frowned...
Doown/ 
dipping, flipping the lazy lounge lanterns of the place I roam I call it home!/
Where pally's and scallywaggers, beggars and baggers, bunny-money sonny toe-taggers
hang loose when the sunset staggers (hmmm...)/
Go sip a dip of that cold tummy chummy, for old crummy rummy's, whose liquor swiggers
quicker than Roadrunner's kicking ticker/ where 'Latenite' rats 
and slipmat cats go back to back, it's like that! In fact/
the evenings leaving teased the believing through downtown ste-re-o sound around the wobbling cobbles 
and tree-top/ topples, bopping absurd herds of Curly Birds they're/
feeling appealing so beak a greet to all of this streets residents, spreading what's found in their downs by the pound/
for pound,/ uptown bound, alter halt (eh) my train of thought./
Late night's and lights rooftop heights we sit a chitter-chattering, yakking much double-dutch and such./
Neighbourhoos kiddies, tikes with trikes leaving their bikes, hiking instead, and head towards home they breeze/
with the swaying ease of the leaves on these/ trees/ grown on the street/
where the sooner moon had blessed the sun when it sneezed.
