The Hole - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]
After work on Friday I was waiting for a bus [00:00:10]
Me mouth was dropping open[00:00:14]
And my gaze was vacuous [00:00:16]
And in the British worker's classic pose[00:00:18]
I was leaning on a door[00:00:20]
When half way down the wormy woodwork[00:00:22]
Quite by chance I saw a little hole [00:00:25]
Well I know it sounds ridiculous [00:00:31]
I know it's awfully odd [00:00:33]
But I suddenly felt like giving that[00:00:35]
Little hole a furtive prod [00:00:37]
So I popped my finger in and[00:00:39]
Then I waggled it about [00:00:41]
But once I'd got the bleeder in [00:00:43]
I couldn't get the bleeder out of the hole [00:00:45]
The hole [00:00:49]
Just a little hole in a door in a door [00:00:53]
Opposite the bus stop of the number 74 [00:00:56]
Suddenly my humdrum life was out of my control[00:00:59]
When I set my wretched eyes upon the hole [00:01:02]
Into the night I heaved and strained [00:01:09]
But still without success [00:01:11]
Then a constable came and asked[00:01:13]
Me for me name and me address [00:01:14]
He said "I can pull you in for loitering[00:01:16]
And maliciously lingering -[00:01:18]
"And furthermore you're not supposed[00:01:21]
To have your finger in that there 'ole "[00:01:23]
The hole [00:01:27]
Just a little hole in a door in a door [00:01:30]
How was I to know that I was breaking[00:01:33]
The law [00:01:35]
They sent a big Alsatian and a vice squad patrol[00:01:36]
When they heard about my finger and the hole [00:01:39]
A crowd sprang up the streets were full [00:01:46]
The public formed a queue [00:01:48]
The national press and the BBC[00:01:50]
Got ready to interview [00:01:52]
They said "Just smile please [00:01:54]
For the cameras and do stop fidgeting [00:01:55]
"Now tell the world just what it feels[00:01:58]
Like with your digit inside a hole "[00:02:00]
The hole [00:02:04]
Just a little hole in a door in a door [00:02:07]
Small dark recess; nothing less nothing more [00:02:10]
It may seem quite absurd but[00:02:13]
It is anything but droll [00:02:14]
Posing for your picture with your[00:02:16]
Finger up a hole [00:02:18]
And then they sent a special doctor[00:02:23]
With a special rubber glove [00:02:24]
And a very special finger and a very special shove [00:02:26]
And he stroked around and groped around [00:02:30]
And wrote down in his book[00:02:33]
"The patient is doing nicely but he's got[00:02:34]
His finger stuck up a hole "[00:02:37]
The hole [00:02:41]
Just a little hole in a door in a door [00:02:44]
Up came the Fire Brigade with choppers galore [00:02:46]
The door flew off its hinges;[00:02:49]
It was quite a rigmarole [00:02:51]
They took us off to prison: me the door [00:02:53]
And the hole [00:02:55]
And then when I appeared in court [00:02:59]
I cried "M'Lud it isn't fair [00:03:01]
"Man will always poke up holes m'Lud [00:03:03]
Because they're there [00:03:06]
"I'm innocent I've drunk too deeply[00:03:07]
From life's bitter cup;[00:03:09]
"And if you don't believe me get yer[00:03:11]
Worshipful finger up any old hole "[00:03:13]
The hole [00:03:17]
Just a little hole in a door in a door [00:03:20]
Seems I've got to live with it for now and evermore [00:03:23]
So vicar come and give a[00:03:26]
Wash-and-brush-up to me soul [00:03:28]
'Cos I'm off to meet me Maker[00:03:29]
With me finger up an everlasting hole[00:03:31]
