Sweet 16
I’ve got an empty
Mum’s away to Mrs Muir’s caravan for the bank holiday weekend
Word spread like wildfire that
I’ve got an empty
Shall we have a theme? ….cartoon characters….disaster movies…we finally settled on hats ….fancy hats…mmmmm…. then at the last minute Clare said Hatasrtophe!!! Brilliant!
Living room blitzed, coffee table in bedroom……ideal for rolling a Thai grass joint Clare found out later …..the couch, we squeezed and scraped into the wee cellar …table and chairs fitted neatly on the wee verandah. We had a dance floor!
Louise and Karen with lots of slap, wonder bras and borrowed heels managed to pass at the offy….loads of cider, lager and a bottle of dry martini was the prize.
Kenny, Ian and Graham begged, stole and borrowed amp, cables, speakers, Wharfedales Wow! and a big black case of vinyl….passing through with a cheese and silverskin onion hedgehog I see Kenny flicking through the LP’s ….Wishbone Ash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, 10cc, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger…..
In they piled to the living room as 10cc blared out….arms in the air heads keeping the beat bodies rocking
Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Louise with a huge billowing flame coming out of a fireman’s hat bumping bums with Jasper and his stag horn head…..Clare skips in with her sombrero and guitar still singing Nelly the Elephant, packed her trunk and said……..Kayt and Colin wearing two sides of a bridge construction bopped together with Kayt mouthing to a puzzled Ian “The Tay Bridge Disaster !” Turn the music up!
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
I’ve got an empty
We’re having a party
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
