on dykes and foot

Travelled to a dyke -which in Holland can take you anywhere from a second (when you live on one) to a full 10 minutes (when you live in the highlands, i.e. anything marginally above water level). It was a very well-rounded trip, in that i got back again, and the dyke was both new

and old



and where i was only walking, dude to my right was jogging with the enthusiasm of a second week diet



and crazy dog to my left sprinting and leaping with the joy of having a plastic bottle in her mouth



and the reet was dancing



but the navigator of the submarine got fired -no dykes allowed in the navy
