Hi Stranger, great to meet you.
Hey – come away from that computer screen
there’s something i want to show you
see this paper thing ? they call it a news paper
a news device for those who didn’t get teletext from Auntie Beeb
and were too busy for the ins and outs of breakfast tv.
I can see you’re confused
but let me explain
while you were napping in the middle of the night
the printers were happily printing
this mornings news
ready for van drivers to drop them off
at various locations
they called “Newsagents”
There were corner shops selling loads of these
As well as your sweets and chocolate
They still sell them today – and if you happen to pass a vendor
in the great metro city centre
They’re giving them away for free!
The Inkwell
