Stopping off for a drink or bite to eat.
You see, in my head I’m a lone cowboy. A drifter out…well, drifting the plains. I saunter in to some dusty town, eyes all on the mysterious stranger. I tether up my trusty steed. & strut into the dark saloon, all eyes on me as the salon doors swing to a creaky stop behind me. I saunter up to the bar, lay my dusty Stetson down & order me a whisky. Then the bar tender slides me the bottle along the bar & I saunter off to some shady corner.
In reality I’ve popped out of a muddy bridleway, to the out of town McD’s, clumsily walked in (after pushing the door the wrong way), I’ve then been told not to put my sweaty Giro on the counter before ordering a Latte. All the while dropping mud everywhere, as parents & children stare at me, & staff rush to sweep up the mess I’ve brought in.
