COCO THE CLOWN

A short story I wrote this morning about a night out with God children where a confetti cannon was fired off and all of its contents I quickly stuffed down my trousers, then when I went to the toilet twenty minutes later I'd forgotten about the confetti which tumbled out into the urinal the man next to me asked if I'd been fornicating with a clown. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message

THE MALE MENOPAUSE

A short story I wrote about a friend of mine who seems to take his fads and fetish to such an extreme that they almost become a religion similar to his father who also has this similar trait where everything has to be taken to the point of extremism or in there own words perfectionism . I don't know what is happening to our society at the moment it seems to be splintering into a strange almost fractured fundamentalism where certain people are fixating on new found ideologies once hobbies have now become a neo religious worship i.e cycling is the all encompassing life style that controls every aspect of your vital , it is much more than a way of keeping fit but is the menticidal midlife crisis of a middle aged man . --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message

ZAP-MAP

This is a short sketch which I put together straight out of my head in an add lib one take without any rehearsal. After trying out a new electric car I can say its one of the most nerve racking experiences I've had recently they're not for the faint hearted you spend your time trying to find charge points where you bump into the most geekish freakish people who seem to all have high powered jobs working for the secret service or brainy buffins in some battery design laboratories syncing complex crypto cars that drive the average human insane. It's going to get to the point where you'll need a robot to just drive you to the nearby shops you'll need a degree in computer engineering just to open your fridge that's if you're allowed to have any more drink after driving these damn stress machines , you need a drink before you drive them doubtless you'll be on a quota an app called AA or the RAC the royal alcoholics club. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message

BOW BELLS

CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE. A story I wrote a long time ago. It's based on the ex-convicts who were working on a hop farm in Kent. The girls were rough diamonds from the Bow Bells, and they seemed to swear every other word; the whole conversation seemed so cruel and corse almost callous which was filled with expletives. The only man working with them for the harvest was Paul, a terrified toff, an ex-barrister from the London legal bar who had fallen from grace. They scared him, and me. Big Pat took me by the throat one night a proper boozer bruiser. and then the next day, she sat her baby boy in my lap. I was a tractor driver, her adopted or borrowed baby and I spent all summer singing songs, much to the annoyance of Big Martin, the cutter in the crow's nest, who kept getting dragged into the wires, while Karlin and I sang, 'Let's all look on the bright side of life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message

THE CHEESE MONSTER

"Doubtful Crumbs" depicting two dogs awaiting crumbs that fall from a rich man's table. This short story is a comedic sketch that I wrote after listening to a friend of mine talking about his obsession with crumbs. I thought of the passage in the Bible, "The Rich Man's Table" (Luke 16:19-21). Maybe the Bible is correct – power of any sort corrupts a person's sense of morality, which lessens as their wealth increases. Communism may be the only cure for human kind --ness. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message

A LOVE HONEY SPUNK BUNNY

A song for a love honey we called Ann Summers due to her working there, she asked me for a birthday card poem and caused me a writer's block which when I tried to explain she cursed me a look of pure disdain , so I wrote this along the lines of a frigid flustering fool that she'd doubtless be serving at the Ann summers shop.

THE EDEN PROJECT

A humorous take on the Eden project. The building blocks of life are made from nucleic acids , Lysergic acid has also been around since the dawn of time doubtless it would have been eaten by our early primate mammalian species increasing hallucinogenic and conscious brain capability hence where the homo sapiens may have got their jump start on the evolutionary ladder the human is now beginning to experiment with the capabilities of LSD administering it to elderly patients in order to awaken the parts the brain that had shut down due to dementia and other brain disorders with remarkable results amazing to think that the first thing to form is a fungi / flora after a cosmic collision or nuclear attack the *melanin"/ mushroom on which a network of neurons in the form of chemical memory in dopamine neurons could be a trigger for a conscience and sentience to begin to form then again anyone who's taken LSD IE magic mushrooms would be able to see the power of LSD over the shaven skinned chimpanzee. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson41/message
