Screeching Goth Magpie

That guitar will have to go!

I stared aghast at the Good Lady. My guitar? Go? Was she sailing down the beetroot river again? Surely, it could be the only explanation.

But. It is the only guitar I have left.

I bleated like a baby lamb denied the booben. (That's Swedish, or something. Maybe)

The Good Lady cocked a hand on her hip in a way that made both of us sigh with the inevitability of the dance we were about to embark on.

The Little Boom tried to play with it the other day and it fell on him! It's not safe anymore, he loves it and can't stay away from it, so it will have to go into the loft. Just for now. Not forever.

I looked at her as if she had just asked me to pass her a monkey-wrench and I only had a spanner.

But... But, it's the last thing I have that makes me a man?!

I wailed.

Don't be silly. You're still a man, baby.

The Good Lady stepped close to me and gave me a kiss. It was a long kiss. I felt a fluttering in my Lebanese Falcon. Was the Good Lady angling for some salt finch?

Wait a minute... Was she trying to soften the blow? I shoved her away.

I refuse. If the guitar goes then I go.

I said with a mad gleam in my eye.

What?! Are you nuts?

The Good Lady barked disbelievingly.

That's right, sister-girl. Time for you to choose. It's me... Or the guitar.

I clutched at my cheap concoction of wood and strings as if it were a bag of crispy goat hair.

We stood there, glaring at one another. Neither giving an inch. At that moment the front door snikked open and the Good Lady's Doula friend, Olette came waltzing in for her and the Good Lady's weekly witching session.

Hey, what's happening, guys?

She asked brightly.

I asked him to take his guitar out of the living room and put it up in the loft because it's becoming a danger to the Little Boom and he said no!

Exclaimed the Good Lady, with no shortage of accusation in her voice.

Olette raised a hand to her mouth in shock.

Oh no, not his guitar? Then there would be no music? Can't he keep it down here? Maybe behind the couch? The Little Boom couldn't get it there surely?

Olette smiled as if she had caught a big toad.

I cast my eye at her, she was looking very smug. I looked down at my guitar. I looked back up. Olette nodded, as if for me to take her offer quickly.

I raised my guitar up slightly and turned to the Good Lady.

You're right baby, it's a danger to the little guy. Up to the loft, it goes!

Olette let out a little gasp.

I smiled at her.

Ha. Take that you screeching goth magpie.

Sort:  

hehe....

Oh dear this is a mess....is it not.....

bleujay agrees with @choogirl and @tamoralovelace.

However, bleujay is quite proud of the fact....that the doula was not allowed to make any breech of the 'Marriage Wall'.....she is too bold by far!

All the best.

Cheers!

Hahaaa, quite right....breaching the wall is never a good move on the part of third parties, and @meesterboom was quick to prevent that overreach.

She is, that's why I agreed in what I thought at the time was the smart easy and now I think I have been duped, lol!!

Hahaaa, quite right....breaching the wall is never a good move on the part of third parties, and @meesterboom was quick to prevent that overreach.

Wait. Did you win or lose here? I feel like you got played by these two.

No!!! No, surely not? Hang on, no? Now you have me thinking!! No. I actually thought I had won, eek

Play long...play loud lol

I do, every minute I get a chance but it's like a conspiracy, the chances are getting smaller and smaller!

It's because you're outnumbered....what with the doula, it's looking like you need to have another boy to even things up

Of course! Now why didn't I think of that. Hurries off to book the snip...

Oh my lol ....don't be too hasty

Opposite to what the chief witch says lol. Your missus is like all the other women, very cunning and devious. Whats next on the list? Told you get the smoker and you will be in heaven as that can't go into the loft.

Lol. If I can end up in the lift I bet the bloody smoker could!

Lol. If I can end
Up in the lift I bet the
Bloody smoker could!

That's a lovely positive way to look at it. You should write a book on this kind of thing. There was all the worry being on the little boom but instead, yes, the guitar is safe!! ;0)

@meesterboom hello dear friend, at first I came to think that the gitarra had to leave the house, that if it would be terrible, change it by security cusetion by the small Boom is another thing. Well done.
I wish you a wonderful night

It will never leave the house. Not on my watch!
