A MAN MIGHT BOLDLY GO, FAR FROM HIS LAIR, TO DO THE WORK DEMANDED BY HIS FIERCE GORGON BOSS, TAKING TWO TUBES, A TRAIN, AND A BUS. IT WOULD BE WORTHY. HE WOULD BE PAID MANY BITS OF SHINY METAL FOR HE IS STRONG AND TRUE WHEN HE DOES THIS WORK.
AND THEN HE MIGHT SUDDENLY REALISE, OVER AN HOUR INTO HIS GREAT JOURNEY, FIVE MINUTES FROM HIS DESTINATION, THAT HE IS GOING TO THE WRONG PLACE TO DO THIS WORK. HE WOULD CAST THE RUNES AND CHECK HIS FILOFAX TO BE SURE AND CORROBORATE HIS SUSPICION.
BUT, BEING THE MIGHTY WARRIOR HE IS, HE MIGHT THEN JUMP OFF THE BUS AND CATCH ANOTHER MIGHTY BUS BACK WHENCE HE CAME, AND A TRAIN AND TWO TUBES, AND STRIDE MIGHTILY AND QUITE FAST TO A WHOLE OTHER PART OF SOUTH LONDON.
AND A MAN MIGHT BE SO PUMPED FULL OF ADRENALINE THAT HE WOULD DO VERY GOOD WORK AND EARN MANY SHINY BITS OF METAL. HE WOULD NEVER SPEAK OF HIS SILLY MISTAKE NOR EXPLAIN WHY HE CAME HALF AN HOUR LATE NOR BE REPAID FOR THE PRICE OF A ZONE SIX RAIL FARE. FOR HE WOULD BE MIGHTILY ASHAMED.
A MAN MIGHT BE MORE CAREFUL IN FUTURE. |
