11/09/2004: "Small Things"

Small things;

that’s all it takes.


Never mind the Big Win at The Church

the evening was a gift to me!

I didn’t take the vow of poverty
it just jumped my bones.

So I care about the price of petrol
& the health of The Pony.

Tonight
my favourite petrol station
didn’t have feed for The Pony.

So I looked elsewhere:
first stop; the BP fifty metres away -
ah, no gear.

next stop; the last BP in Sydney!
[until you get to Cathyville, 3 min down the track]

4 lanes, much choice,
but I couldn't find "LRP"

so I went in & asked the Continental Gentleman:
"The red ones," he says.
"The red ones?" I ask.
"The red ones," he confirms.

I push The Pony back one stand:
but that’s not red - it's orange.

I walk around,
locate a red one
& fill up.

Its cheap!
I pay the guy
& thank him again.
[careful not to mention the cricket...]

I wash the screen - for joi!
there are bubbles in the bucket!
Clean Screen! Clean Screen!

I have discovered A New Thang!

Yea, it's the small thangs that make your day…
