Musha Oliver you are the true poet around here,I fake it for some levity,but you; passion ,heart ,eloquence. I have been trying to think of that man's name for years 'Dave Allen'.He'd sit on a bar stool with his real or un-real, glass of uisce beatha on a table beside him,and was he misssing the top of his index finger?. His classic comic video of the Monk at the dinner table where silence was de-riguere. His place at the table, was last in the order of rotation,as he watched, with dismay, the pot of porridge dissipate as it was passed from monk to monk, each ladling ample portions for themselves. His face getting,redder,& gloomier with each passing. The pot finally arrives ,with nothing. Save to lick the spoon!.
