Talking about plumbing. On awakening from my oft disturbed slumber, and
requiring a visit to the room often named the small room, imagine my
dismay when I found a copious trail of blue loo from the cistern, down
the pipe and onto my floor. There, lying in all its odd glory, I saw "a
thing". OH, I said to myself, I wonder if that is Mephi, having fallen
amongst my plumbing. However, after struggling onto my knees it was
discovered to be a small piece of a washer from the aforesaid cistern.
Steeling myself to raising my ageing self again to the upright position,
I stood, with head bowed in shame, and asked myself, how could I imagine
a broken piece of washer to be the renowned Mephi?.
Shame on me, I thought, went to the kitchen, brewed, and imbibed that
most luxurious of human traditions, a cuppa.
Mercury,
