By Land By Sea By Air
The cessna plane cut out somewhere above the sea
it was my boss Taff telling the pilot to switch the
engine off for a kick and all i heard was the wind
as he shouted lets see if the apprentice likes this
as i felt a strange calm come over me telling myself
they were just a glider after all damn Taff for fun he
would sledge hammer remote telephone boxes to
collect all the coin he had jars at home with gold
coins from his pillages and another thing he did
was to put a fake police light on his car roof and
pretend to be a cop pulling people over to speed
off quickly he would cut himself on purpose in
the kitchen to get time off work crazy man and
made it his life mission to go to every massage
parlour in metropolitan Melbourne it became a
point of pride with him saying to me i know all the
knock shops apprentice and he was married to the
most beautiful girl with two little girls at home
who i remember being sick which he couldn't at
all handle at the time he once knew an old German
guy with a genuine Luger pistol he wanted to sell
for seven hundred from WW2 the guy was some
sort of ex soldier under the third Reich so i didn't
see him much when i left he was on his own trip
damn Taff crazy man.
