Three AM

What about this one? Inspired by a friend.

The noughties were a tough time for some.

Surely you still dream of hearing!
Me?
I’m still a dreamer.
That’s because my friend here -
My pen
Seize the bigger picture
Seize a different point of view
Sees the realm I live in
What goes on in derleydoo

Come with us - join the guided tour
No mystery trips today
We’ll work from nineteen sixty four
Until the present day

Take your seat please - step on board
And hold on very tight
We’ll be travelling in a circle
At twice the speed of light.

Did everyone enjoy it?
Should we go round one more time?
Perhaps a little slower
And we’ll capture it in rhyme.

But first, a little novelty
As a gift - a souvenir
A ring - as a reminder
That you start and finish here.

.

Well it’s gotta be 3am somewhere…

You do realise I’ve had to travel to the Tonga branch of PCH&N in order to draw attention to your rebellious nature. Broke the travel ban to do it. Essential work allows.

Breaking a) rule , there now, if it’s there
It’s 3 am everywhere. It hasn’t with the time of day cause of space
Out and over

Of course it’s never over until it’s Over, although sometimes It may be down & out. .?.

Yeah, that’s IT!

Da hell is PCH&N?

I always aim to please, so well worth the effort in having to accommodate and allow for my… rebellious nature.

Moi… essential? nice to know.

I like how you posted at exactly 3pm… nice touch. ; )

Actually, its most of the time.

“Da hell is PCH&N?”

Pacific coast HI way?

Really a coincidence , me and wife barreling up Oregon way>>>>>>>>>>

…Hi, way- out. but not…over…

Da hell is PCH&N?

Outside the Anchorage offices of PCH&N.

“Good morning, Mister Cumming.”
“Good morning. Why is everyone standing outside? Why haven’t you opened up?”
“It’s the new voice activated security system, sir. We’re struggling with the code, Mister Cumming? We can’t get in.”
“Can’t! Can’t! What have I told you?”
“At this particular moment, here and now, we are not able.”
“I knew this was going to cause problems.”
“We think we can remember the five words, Mister Cumming. But no one can remember the correct order.”
“That’s hardly surprising. I’ll ring Mister Pratt.”
Ten, fifteen, twenty, maybe twenty five minutes later…
“Okay, someone write this down. Person, Woman, Man, Camera… oh bollocks.
Get Mister Pratt back on the phone. This is impossible. You’d have to be some kind of genius to operate this system.”
“Is it ‘TV’, Mister Cumming?”
“Bingo! You are a genius!”
“Why are we here so early, Mister Cumming?”
“I’ll explain later.”

I didn’t expect to see you here, what are you doing?

Shssh, sit down. I’m watching the Republican convention.

Who’s that?

That’s Matt Gaetz.

Wow. He speaks very highly of Mister Trump.

They’ve all spoken highly of him so far.

The two men listen attentively to the various speakers for a further 15 minutes.

It’s bloody marvellous isn’t it.

What’s that?

It’s a pity the president’s sister doesn’t know her own brother as well as these people do.

What makes you say that?

Well if she did, she wouldn’t say such nasty things about him.

Good point.

Make sure you lock up when you leave.

No! say it isn’t so…

No idea what you read into that, MagsJ!

The eleventh second of the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Lololol, I was trying to be all dramatic and that, Derley…

Paying one’s respects on a day like this? indeed so… Now where did I put that enamelled poppy brooch.

Thanks for the heads up, MagsJ - but I think I will stick with tradition. I stretched a point with the eleven minutes and eleven seconds!

Not seen you here for a while - what’s occurring?

Boss asked me to pop in and change the kloccs. What time do you have?

Did you hear that?

Anchorage; well, it isn’t 3 am yet, can’t stay up that late, but I wish I had that worn out copy of ‘Sailor Song’ could pass the time…till dawn.

Inside the Las Vegas offices of PCH&N:

Searched for the lyrics, Meno. Thought the song may have some symbolic meaning. Far too many sailor songs! Hope you are well. Thanks for popping in!
