While going through some old boxes, looking for my kazoo, I found
the written record, taken by me, of an unfortunate
incident at my first rented flat in San Francisco in 1985
***
6 a.m.
House-mate awakens
feeling violently ill.
***
6:15 a.m.
Woken by his cries,
I immediately
fall back to sleep.
***
6:30 a.m.
Woken, again, by
his cries, I rush
to the kitchen,
and fix myself
a heaping burlap
satchel of waffles.
***
06:45 a.m.
I call the doctor.
***
07:30 a.m.
Doctor arrives,
rushes to
the kitchen,
and
fixes himself a
heaping burlap
satchel of waffles.
***
08:30 a.m.
Doctor goes to House-mate’s room.
Sends in a canary.
***
11:59 a.m.
Canary returns
with a renewed
sense of pride,
an olive branch,
and a
heaping burlap
satchel of waffles.
***
12:01 p.m.
Doctor administers medicine
***
12:02 p.m.
House-mate feels better
***
12:03 p.m.
House-mate dies.
***
12:30 p.m.
Doctor composes the Magic Flute
***
12:45 p.m.
Austrian Deluxe singer Falco records ‘Rock Me Amadeus’.
***
1:00 p.m.
George runs out of ideas for time-line bit.
***
1:03 p.m
George begins working on next bit.

A hilarious and sad tale

It’s not that sad, really. At 12:04 my house-mate arrived in heaven, got his wings, met his dead relatives and fixed himself a heaping burlap satchel of waffles. So, all is well. Thank you, Sadje

It’s an age-old argument, was it Mozart or some heretofore unknown fictional doctor from a blog post. Thanks, Neil.

The canary sing for its supper? Or was that breakfast?

The canary mostly ate out, so i am assuming it paid cash. Besides, a canary with a credit card? Unheard of back then. Thanks, Pam.

(1) I once ate an awful waffle. It didn’t have that burlap satchel aroma that I always crave.
(2) So where is the canary now? Somewhere in the islands?
(3) The hand that rocks the cradle belongs to Amadeus? I prefer Rebecca De Mornay.
(4) True story: When my aunt became pregnant years ago, I suggested she name the boy Wolfgang. My aunt’s married name is Green.
(5) I suggest you go back in time and correct this whole house-mate situation. Do you wish to borrow my DeLorean? I just overhauled the flux capacitor, so it’s ready to go.
