APRIL TWENTY THREE
HELLO AM I EVEN SOBER
Yesterday was the old fogies trip to Blackpool
I went along on the rickety old Chara
simply to make up the numbers on the bus
we went the long way round via Lytham St Annes
where we stopped for the breakfast cabaret
complete with comedians and lady boys
and a couple of early door pints of extra strong cider
On reaching Blackpool it was straight off to the beach
then the Pleasure Beach and all the rides and side shows
not that I can remember much about them
Some lady I don't know who she was gave me my meds
everything seemed okay for a bit until we went to the pub
where I had another couple of pints of some sort of beer
then it was off on a tram to North Pier and up the Tower
standing on that glass floor at the top I was giddy and dizzy
After a large dinner of fish chips and very mushy peas
it was time to meet up with the old fogies at The Waterloo
for more drinks and another dodgy cabaret before leaving
Hello am I even sober I remember thinking before waking up
