A Bolt from the Blue
Like a Bolt from the Blue
a woman called BRYONY BLEASEDALE
was struck on the head by a bole of Teal Blue cloth
falling from on high.
What happened was – Bryony was in John Lewis’s upholstery department
choosing material to make curtains
unfortunately
she dislodged a bolt of cloth while rummaging thru the shelves
with catastrophic consequences.
A kindly staffer helped BRUISED BRYONY to her feet
and led her to the staff room
where she was given a restorative cup of tea.
“NEXT time, Madam – pu-lease ask a member of staff
to bring out the Bolts of cloth for you
THAT’S what we’re here for.”
