Retentive

Ringing tone in my ear.
Bantum and I are on the way back from KL.
Mother picks up.

" Mummy ah! I haven't been to the loo in
3 days and have been taking laxatives for the past two
and still no luck!"

I say loudly as Bantum wrinkles his nose.

" Aiyerrrr," says mother
"Why don't you try and sit at the toilet
and just wait everyday?"

"You crazy ah Ma? Where got time?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here I am, back in Cardiff
time flowing out of my ears
but no need to sit and wait
somehow here, I'm taking good dumps
