DYLAN
THOMAS - THE WORLDS FIRST
EDIBLE STATUE?
Swansea, that "ugly lovely town", of the oft quoted line
attributed to the Jack Bard himself. But, I mean, take a look at the
statue of the old drunken bugger on the right, he's got a cheek, not
exactly effin Tom Cruise himself is he? No wonder he was a piss-artist
and reknowed fantasiser, imagine seeing that fizzog in the mirror
every morning when you get the Bic razor out.
And why is he
perched on the edge of his seat like that? Ready to do a runner cos
it's his round? Nice bit of frazzle just walked into the bar? Perhaps
he's just got an instinctive aversion to pub chairs. Come to think
of it, I'd sit like that too, if I was drinking regularly in the "Uplands
Inn", I would only hazard a guess as what those students get
up on those seats and what kind of mess they'd leave behind after
a night on the Stella and Beriani.
