me and my culo

the story of a boy and his pet ...
5 year old Trevor had always wanted a best friend
at kindgergarten he had sought one out
he had made some acquaintances
some other kids to join in the horseplay
but they seemed little more than pets to Trevor
his parents had even given him variously
a parrot called Beaster,
a redfish call Goldie Coloured Slacks,
a white mouse called Sleaze
to all of which he had felt some affection
but it was never like he could 'play' with them
like he had seen on the internet...
argh the frustration !
he was unable to articulate his need for companionship to his parents
his vocabulary let him down
and his pleas for assistance just came across as tantrums and incessant whining

He had tried to adopt an imaginary friend such as had done his peers
he cooked up Nacho the Spanish waitress
Blitzun the bison
and Mick Harvey the musician..
but none of them were more than ephemeral
not comrades for hours of distractions and diversion

then, all in one tract
he met his best-friend-to-be
a curious chap
not much to say
but always wanting to contribute to the conversation
now he thought about it, his culo had always been around
but always somewhere just out of sight
