Bait Plates and Turtle Neck

Johnny "Barking Meat Plates" Bach was born attached to a woman he knew as his sister, and fathered by a man he knew as uncle. Fond of walking on tiles in gumboots that he dubbed 'my rubbery chums', Meat Plates was taught lessons by the school bullies. A master of a bit of needle and "spanking the monk", he enjoyed his own organ as others enjoy theirs. His mobile phone would go off at inappropriate moments such as when he was rogering the missus or "whipping the heretics". The Baiting Shrimp, as they called him, enjoyed the adulation of the masses but today his star has faded into promiscuity.

Igor Stravinsky, The Sprinting Turtle, was a fisherman with the breath of a kingfisher, the tonsils of a frying pan, the knuckles of a teatowel and the demeanour of a vagrant with the larynx of a realtor. He abandoned his dying dog in it's final hours as it hopped hopelessly in the yard, suffering from a fear of loss. The Hurtling Turtle had a pair of piano fingers either side of his meat-hooks that opposed the others in the fashion of some sort of giant, upright, hairless, monkey with spectacles, a hat, gloves and a sparrow perched on it's knee.

"Whipping the heretics"?
i don't know if I am just starting to get used to your style or if it is gettting better (perhaps both), but what you write seems to be getting funnier.
It still makes sense only marginally though.
Keep going brother,
peace

Does one whip the heretics the same way one spanks the monks?

Norm, have to admit, best I can make out, you're not actually saying anything at all in this post, but you do say it so eloquently.

Reminds me a bit of a book by John Lennon called "A Spaniard in the Works".

Adrian,
Can i tell you (lowering his voice to imperceptible levels) that I think that is right?(with reference to the nonesense)
It's a reaction to biography.
What is it with this obsession with the lives of "important" people?
More attention, in my humble....,should be devoted to studying the works people do.
We can't capture life in a word...words are not adequate, in my humble.., to capture life!
Chasing down that reference to Spaniards in the Works,
Norm
