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.
