After A Nice Little Bit of Afters... by Kev Raymond.

Absorbed in a rural inn of yokels, yokes, and tarnished rafters. Having downed the nelsons for a sherbet to The Smoke. Jack and bruv by another muvver Mike, stagger off in to the night. A somewhat unsteady slobbering sight… reeling and a wobbling down a leaf strewn suburban road...

“Jack, at least when we get slung out a The Oak, for being leery, having done our bit a poke. Ain’t too far to stagger, through the short cuts back to Chaucer, but... stuck out here, in the middle o’ nowhere in The Sticks, blitzed, staggering through an eerie swirling mist… I’m half expecting an hovering flying saucer”.

A screeching, “and when da fields are fresh and green, I will take ya to yer ome again Kathleen”, terrified rabbits, foxes and hooting owls in nearby woods. Elderly William, espying a deuce o' bawling boozy balladeers, didn’t deem the duo a threat to locals, except their ears. Retiring... instead to intercept a ring of gnome trafficking robbing hoods.

A mile or two along the leafy road., after all, on foreign soil no one really knows… proper distance, if there ain't a glaring neon chip shop sign in sight? Our duetting drunks stumble across an eerie shadowy depot, realize it's, after having had a decent dekko, absolutely rammo in dozing double-deckers, parked up for the night.

Jack couldn’t quite believe their luck. So, as he’s always yearned to drive a double decker bus, figures he’s been handed his opportunity by fate, “Mike, stand over at the stop there, keep a watch, I’ll half-inch a bus, pick you up and we’ll shoot off. Get your skates on, see you in a minute mate?”.

Stood at the stop puffing on a v**e. Mike goes absolutely radio rental ape, as a bus, with Jack at the wheel careering by. Tearing down the dim lit road in hot pursuit, spouting language, us inner city dwellers rarely use… banging on the bus window… at a breath-saving red traffic light.

“Oi Jack! Open the door, ya stupid mutt, yer supposed to stop, and pick me up”, screamed a raging Mike, having truly copped the hump, “Behave ya self, don’t yer start having a pop at me…What’s yer problem, can’t ya see... Sorry, Not In Service on the front?”.

Since then, every time I hear some-one say, “I’ll take the bus”, Almost welling up, I think about this pair o’ twits, totally off of their thruppennies… absolutely boracic, in a place unknown. Yet... still prepared to half-inch a suburban bus… and drive back to the sanctity that's heaven on earth to at least some of us, Pimlico, London South West One... our spiritual home.

Peace... in Eastern Europe, and The Middle East.

A Ruse To Weigh Up Her Current Beau... by Kev Raymond.

Cute bird, out o' Russell House I know... Bridie... asked this toffee nosed so and so, would he like to go… Dan Tha Van, for a week beside the sea? “Presh, what with all the airports being shut? Due to numbers creeping up, we’d be quarantined… on our Tod babe, you and me”. Fair dos to Bridies latest snooty fella, might not be everyone’s glass of Stella. Off Dan Tha Van, he sets, game for a laugh. Mind you... fella’s shapely date, pristine soft-top XK8, screech a brake’s, outside his mater’s ornate suburban gates. Set church coffee morning tongues a wagging, and a fluttering in his heart.

Soft top down, Moondance on the deck, wisp o’ Burberry, knotted loosely at the neck. A beaming Bridie, toes her motor down his street. Fella braced both plates against the floor, as another side, to his uber secretive l’amour, turned a charming sculptured face, white as a sheet.

Parked-up, outside The Smoke, exchanging saliva, f**s, can o' Diet Coke, Bridie sensed her new beau looking glum, “Babe everything okey-doke? Look like you’ve seen a bleating ghost, hardly said a dicky… cat got your tongue?”. “Bridie… any chance I could drive the car? Only… I feel fortunate to have even got… thus far. Judging by the hell for leather way you race this Jag”, “Sorry babe, did my toeing it, frighten you back there? Only, I’ve usually elderly William, trying to nick my derriere, chasing me and my bloods, after having pulled a blag”.

“You mean, you're like… a getaway driver… to a group of thieves?”, "S’right babe, or as we prefer, a bunch o’ top-notch tea-leaves, s'pose now I best drive you back home to your mum?”, with that, the charmer jumps back in The Jag, taps the dash, sparking up a fag, "Shall we continue… slowly mind... I'd like to still be in one piece, time day is done?”.

Bridie caressed his sculptured cheek, to... Crazy Love, slipped on a pair o’ leather racing drivers gloves. Aimed the purring cat… toward open road… via a touch of toe. Thinking, "Hmm... should have kept shtum just now, he’ll be on the hurry up to mum, I tell him how…t’was a cinch for me to steal, this absolutely blinding set o' wheels, from the car-park behind Heal's, Tottenham Court Road, on my way to pick him up... an hour ago?".

Peace... to Eastern Europe, and The Middle East.

This is my 16 year old album..bought with a 16th birthday record token after hearing Gloria on Nicky Hornes show..It took a while to fully appreciate..It wasn’t Physical Graffitti or Born to Run but eventually it won me over and stands as one of the great Rock n Roll statements..from the cover to the opening statement to the climax of Land..a 16 year old couldn’t ask for more.

Horses is the debut studio album by American musician Patti Smith. It was released by Arista Records on November 10, 1975. A fixture of the mid-1970s underground rock music scene in New York City, Smith signed to Arista in 1975 and recorded Horses with her band at Electric Lady Studios in August and September of that year. She enlisted former Velvet Underground member John Cale to produce the album.
