Sticky Beak
“It’s not working.
The songs keep reminding me.
First there was the one about the heart that’s aching so much that even two aspirin and a eucalyptus menthol oil rub can’t take away the pain.
I spooled through that one.
Then there was the one about the woman who wants to cry but can’t, not even when she goes to work in a sandwich bar making salad rolls with lots of onion.
I spooled through that one too.
And now, the final straw, I’m listening to one about a bloke who can’t see things even when th...ey’re staring him in the face.
Not his clean socks or the crack in his bathroom mirror or his dentist who’s secretly in love with him.
Me and Dad are like that bloke.
I don’t mean because our dentist is secretly in love with us. The only thing our dentist Mr Webster loves is collecting rocks and that’s no secret because he has the magazines in his waiting room.
I mean because me and Dad can’t see things when they’re staring us in the face either.
With Dad it’s little things like not noticing I was holding the wire cutters when he walked into the packing shed this arvo.MoreLess
