Jangling about in my head, alongside how to make bread , kedgerees, a decent dhall, pin numbers, phone numbers, my address, friend’s names and addresses and memories
dating back to when I was about two, I
also carry a large collection of bizarre scraps, which switch
themselves to replay from time to time, apparently independently of
my will.
About 20 years ago I worked in a legal office which dealt
with insurance claims for a large van owning company. All of
the claims were based on accident reports filled in by the driver, and quite
often the drivers were not good at filling the forms in. My favourite stated
Cause of accident: Sudely a griat bang
Damage caused: Front front whee
What I was not expecting, though, was that this would pop
into my head yesterday whilst Dolly and I were wandering
behind Lake Cou Cou. Not only did it
pop, but if formed itself into a little song which went
Sudely a griat bang
Sudely a griat bang
Sudely a griat bang
And I hurt my front front whee
As everyone can see
Sudely a griat bang
Sudely a griat bang
And I hurt my front front whee
As everyone can see
