The Tar-Jay Thing



The good bit’s there’s no need t’ pontificate, its 
like teeing off & repeating the swing elaborately 
while the ball’s already lying on the green - but, 
and I’m no golfer, there’s th’ scene where those 
gratuitous oohs & aahs stream from the stroke - 
like a bunch of fans incapable of surceasing the 
fixed etiquette because it is too demeaning - so 
I’m into revisiting th’ tar-jay parody of yesterday 

We went shopping at Target. Yeah, there’s really 
fair truth in the belief you’d be getting what you 
want fo' incontestably less than boutique prices 
you’d have to pay elsewhere; tho I suppose that 
depends on which goods you’re after. It was pjs 
in my case, yet we’d looked in Woollies and left 

empty-handed, so off to Tar jay. Within 10 mins 
th’ deed was done and we’d found the goods t’ 
suit th’ need - which was right next to our Cafe, 
so we could sit, sip & read the morning papers, 
relaxed in th’ decadently sophisticated way we 
will bling as being th’ irrefutable Tar-jay thing
