Richard Pitman Q&A

[gamble]

Thank you Richard for sharing
your passion for horse racing
with us,possibly missing the
big surf, as your aired your
views on the big topics.

You have become an indelible
part of racing history and
mythology.
I scibbled down a short poem on
a longish bus journey which
I have just tidied up.
It was a dark day today

…….

THE CRISPRUM

Like the run of the fog on the Tyne
they will be re-watching the old crime
in well over a hundred years time

With hoover parts for hearts
and implants shaking with gel
they’re down at the start at Bates Motel

On a beech chair panted and pining
he couldn’t get up and she’s crying
for dear Dickie so hard he was trying

Mother shouts out now Norman tell
What the hells that awful smell
Not out of the swamp
you know I’m not well

The new man room one
called Dickie Mum
I made him into rum

[Mr. Pilsen]

I hadn’t realized that JT McNamara was that close to retiring before his awful accident. Makes me even more sure that AP should get out sooner rather than later.

Great to hear that JT McNamara is at least out of hospital now and back home in Ireland.

Keep on dancing
Mr P wherever you are
you old crust

Ooh you and me
you and me
I feel do – ves

Lager Boy is alive, probably still overweight and has shacked up with horses who talk politics

The existential chitter-chatter’s good on that asteroid though. I’ve managed to get the occasional word in edgeways but it takes time to become a gang member asked to pack the pantechnicon and exit Coventry. Wrists have yet to be slashed and blood rubbed. O-neg and AB-pos is not an ideal mix anyway

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back

[gamble]

you called it right

visibility is poor
and we are waiting
on a platform
with ten other ghosts
when the tannoy
suddenly crackles
into life

For those waiting
on platform 1
the train
is delayed.
There will be
crackle…
another
crackle…
announcement and update
crackle…
next year
