I can’T remember if I did this before or after the kebab… WHO CARES! ? Fucked if I do…

 


Now - this is nice. At 2.00pm I am down at some place and for 700 whatevers you get an hour boat ride. Lucky me, no other fucker around, just me, El Capitaine Ting Tong Poo and a partridge in a pear tree. The Google shite said that there were lots of monkeys.

I ask the Captain - who is mastery of the ancient, sacred art of Tea-Milkie-Sooka Ingin Wit long pole with a propeller on the end it – THAT reminded me fascinatingly enough of using the toilet brush to get the stains away. Rather hypnotic as he pushes it up and down, around and around through the waist deep, lily and grass surface… and

 




‘Captain. Where are the monkeys?’

 

I knew where they are of course. At a sun blazing 3.00pm temperature enough to roast a monkey in its skin, they, no matter how well trained, have no intention to get out of a shady tree and stand to attention and salute the famous Gokwe Kid. Tee-hee. Such thoughts made me giggle. I had just asked the captain a moment ago to stop cleaning the toilet and let me roll a small brain enhancing smoke.

 


I was boiling inside. The mad fucks at the entrance force you to wear a life jacket. Yes- a life jacket designed to TAKE your life as you slowly cook like a joint in a micro-wave plus grill. The peasant just smiled and said the internationally recognised answer to all questions - whether it is asking where are the monkeys to- do you think a monkey could be trained to do your job? - whilst grinning broadly and bobbing his head,

 

‘Yessssss.’

 





Along we go doing the toilet brush along a well marked out track, zippy here and there and who knows where (roll another blunt Bob)  along, spot a bird or two and then a very long, narrow boardwalk with a tower in the middle - with the idea that, I, that have nothing better to do than that, what is that your presumed to want to do, but I most certainly did not want to do that, that meant that and we toddled back.

Very Nice! Howz Zat hey.

The next posting is a very heavy metal, psychedelic, philosophical, smoked brain look at the amazing world wtfs a century and a quarter and all in between.
