Fait Accompli

young john anthony david grant was brought up by his maiden aunt who though she filled his life with joys had little experience of men or boys she taught him manners and dressed him neat so he always raised and lowered the toilet seat washed his hands and combed his hair and sat politely in his chair a delightful type of boy who never spoke until spoken to they lived an idyllic country life free of stress and free of strife until one day on its way to town a circus passed with a lady clown she was smart and she was pretty she was funny and she was witty and she caused stirrings in the pants of young john anthony david grant she didn’t mean him any harm as he showed her around the farm let’s just say she showed him joy brought back a man instead of a boy he travels with the circus and has his place as that sad clown with the big white face but his life is filled with love and pleasure for that lady clown was a rare treasure his maiden aunt now has her own caravan and lives with a roadie called big stan she didn’t mind that he seduced her after john anthony went and introduced her life goes on in its pleasant way all four enjoy every single day sometimes life just isn’t sad and I for one don’t think that’s bad neither does john anthony david grant or his one time maiden aunt

Most of my performing is in pubs at open mics. A lot of folk are just there for the beer so you gotta try and make ‘em laugh to get their attention. This one goes down well. Thanks Wen.
