And how are you today?

I bumped into my next door neighbour this morning while she was putting out her rubbish. I said to her Morning June, how are you? She said bored sh*t-less and miserable as sin! OK I said. I really didn’t want to get in to the whys and wherefores but good manners dictated that I acted concerned.

I said what's up? She said to me life is dull. Dull, dull, dull. There's no sugar in my tea. There's no icing on my cake. There's no cream in my coffee. There's no eggs with my bacon. There's no butter on my toast. There's no rum in my coke. There's no ink in my pen. There's no…

I said alright June, I get the idea! Have you been dumped again? She said yes and burst into tears and ran into her house with dressing gown flying behind her like Superman's cape.

I wish I never asked!
