Like the whispers about the bluebird, of which he never knew.

Talking helps a lot with my job, which is in public relations,
As...

My dear brother Butch,

Hair are the highlights of my week:
I got a job at the Hairway to Heaven salon!

Skirting church on Puig de Missa,
then down the slope towards the river,
St Eularia's Rui, with path that winds on to the sea.
Past the smelly goats, where poking little

Sitting outside in the cold wet mud,
Hearing footprints thud and thud,

I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish

Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the China...

where I'm looking for a name,
where hawthorn hedges line the fences,
and the crossroads look the same.

I'm up and down seems every road;
I've criss-crossed east to west,
as well as going...

The sudden eighties music craze,
had gone beyond the norm,
the local supermarket,
was swept along by the storm,
as more and more of the shoppers,
joined in with the revival,
