Night Thoughts by Royston Ghandi

I wonder if I left the gas on?
An explosion at this time of night
Would be most inconvenient,
Especially in this neligee
If I get up early enough I can get to the paper before the dog.
Hang on.
We haven't got a dog.
That smell must be something else.
A piece of tuna behind the sofa perhaps
Or some camaembert under the stairs.
What was the name of that footballer?
You know, the one with the green hair
And the race horse.
Bobby? ...Tommy?...Jimmy?  .....
Maybe it wasn't a footballer
Perhaps it was a jockey.
Yes, that would certainly account for the horse,
But not the green hair.
