Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have just run into Josie and her beautiful girlfriend <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a lovely couple they are <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must be so proud <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am very happy for them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are they visiting your mother <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where are you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Richmond planning the revolution <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I will be down this weekend <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be lovely to see you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please pop into Benedicts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe this is a very private question <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie said that you were once stabbed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was glassed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was many years ago <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happened <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie and I were on a train <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a drunk touched her leg <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She swore at the pervert <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he spat in her direction <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then flattened him with a punch <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We grappled for a while <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before an off duty cop <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Threatened to arrest him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He asked did I wish to press charges <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I declined as I had actually thrown a punch <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Details were taken and the sorry creature <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was carted off by the railway police <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because he was drunk <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie was actually angry with me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I had acted in such a manner <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noting that she was personally capable <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Off dealing with low lives <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such as the one we encountered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was only as we showered that Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noticed a gash on my back <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which had been caused by a broken glass <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This upset Josie as she said it could have been a knife <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see did you regret what happened <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes and no <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of me thought myself foolish <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other part would do it again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father once said to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That whilst I have most of the gifts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do have a number of weaknesses <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One being that I tend to shoot from the hip <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to control it as it will get you in trouble one day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a very peaceful man as you are aware <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is something black and white about me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no grey <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie finds this hard to understand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I am so three sixty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I think that she is sometimes scared for me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was very honest Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are bitterly honest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black and White <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have known you both for a number of years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you do continue to surprise me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am looking forward to seeing you Rosie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I promise that I will behave myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as I get two scones <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are the decent sort Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our country was built by people like you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seriously <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are making me blush <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home made jam <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strawberry or Lime <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the Grey Lady <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your tray is being prepared <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Till then Rosie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will reserve the twins favourite table<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the window <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a extra chair<\/p>\n\n\n\n
