The Funeral Crasher

Francis Flannery, a rare visitor to our humble establishment, cruised by recently after having performed at a local funeral reception.

He was kind enough to give us a reprise of his performance, called "GET DOWN ON IT, DUDE!" It seemed a bit visceral and self-absorbed at first, but we soon recognized the allure his movements could bring to a grieving throng.

Just back from Osaka,
Officer Tailspin Tommy
screeched into our establishment
and ordered everyone up against the wall.

While we stood there spreadeagled,
he proceeded with a lengthy review
of our passportals, until he was assured
that there were only "travelers" present.

Usually on Tuesdays, Gerry Mander (regular customer and good friend) pops in for a wee drop and ultimately ends up on his arse doing his version of the beer can can. He's no ballet artist, but he has a leg up on all the others in this joint!

All I wanted to do was respond to Martin's articles in "Today your hair is very nice"
It's not that easy...oooh nooo!... You have to BECOME a blogger to correspond with one.


WHATEVER,...so here I am posting my own impressions about which (probably) neither you nor I care:
