Have you always been a mad girl Josie 

Ewe should know Sephine 

Come again 

Cora are you finished in the bathroom 

Five minutes I am still in afterglow street 

Do stop at the lights and look out for cyclists 

You have not answered my question 

What question 

Have you always been a mad girl 

No I was quite normal for many years 

And then I came home early one day 

I had hurt myself playing netball 

And found mummy fucking Bishop Baker 

The same Bishop Baker who supports slavery 

He does not support slavery 

He just thinks that the church should give them lots of money 

As they are tad pissed off with us 

Like Hell they are 

They do not give a fuck for their ancestors 

It was all about money then and money now 

It would not help their silly little countries

They would waste it all on fast cars and blond bimbo whores 

You were saying 

Well I came home a little worse for wear 

Expecting sympathy

And found mummy riding Bishop Baker like a horse 

Were they naked 

Mummy was dressed as a nun 

Was the bishop wearing his dog collar 

Yes 

Anything else 

No 

What did ewe do 

I panicked 

My beautiful mother was fucking Daddy’s boss 

I rushed away in tears 

And fell head first down the stairs 

Was it fatal 

Yes

I traumatised something in my head 

When I woke up in our private hospital 

I found a lovely Bible next to my bed 

It was a gift from Bishop Baker and mummy 

Did ewe read it Josie 

Yes it was the usual Mills & Boon 

Nice Jewish lad who goes around doing good 

Pisses off some Italians who kill him 

Is that when you went mad 

I tried to blackmail Bishop Baker 

Were you successful 

No as he threatened to take down mummy with him 

I kept my mouth shut but ensured that daddy was promoted 

I also told the bishop that he would stop all this slavery nonsense full stop 

Did he 

More or less 

He visited Africa a few times just to keep up appearances 

But gradually faded from view unlike the current crew 

They are so misguided 

They miss something so important 

What happened to Bishop Baker 

He died of some jungle disease the year before daddy drowned 

You mother 

She never spoke about it 

Guilt 

Was she the creator of Mad Josie 

Not really 

Josie was the creator of Mad Josie 

A silly question but was Joe aware of all this 

Sephine I love you so much 

Silly innocent Sephine 

I need to know 

I need to know what goes on in his head 

Somebody has to 

Yes Joe knows all the gory details 

All of them 

Yes 

Everything 

Everything 

Was it hard telling him Josie 

Joe knows everything as he wrote this fiction 

So I am not real 

Neither am I 

So you are saying that all the orgasms 

You gave me were fictional

I suppose they were

What about Joe is he fictional 

Only God knows that answer
