Waiting for a Bus


What do you do Michael

I am a cleaner

I thought you were in The Navy

I am

So you are a cleaner in The Navy

Do they exist

Yes very much

But I am a very special cleaner

Special cleaner

Yes

Really

Yes as I am in charge of the anchor on HMS Antelope

The aircraft carrier

Wow that must be exciting

It is

Forgive me if I am stupid but does the sea not do your job for you

Sadly not and many people make that mistake

The sea actually makes things worse

You would not believe the shit that I find attached to anchors

But to me it is one of the most important parts of the ship

Without an anchor the ship would drift aimlessly

I am very proud of my command

It looks like that the bus has been cancelled Sal

There is not another one for an hour and five

Do you fancy a coffee

That would be nice

There is a great Coffee House over there

It is called Temptation

I love its ditty

I can resist everything except Temptation

So original

It has been stolen

Really from whom

I will not tell you but if you guess

Before the coffees arrive

Then the refreshments are on me
