The Blackcountry Man

By brickmaker

No Room at the Inn....

Once again the intrepid duo traveled far and wide through the streets of Brierley Hill Bethlehem to find a room for the duration, but to no avail, everywhere was full up with visitors to The Black Country, for the census.
Eventually they  came across the last inn in the town, they knocked the door and Mrs BM The Inn keepers Wife and her daughter came to the door,
"what do you want?" they asked.
"we need a room for a few days and there is no room anywhere in the town and we desperately need somewhere." Joseph said.
"You had best go through to my husband, he's in the Stable, my daughter will show you the way", she said.
At that the little daughter  led the two through to the stable, (I know it the Summer house again, but it's the only thing I have big enough).
Anyhow, the Inn keeper says that the only thing that he has for them is the stable, "We'll take it" says Joseph, to Mary's black looks.

And so the couple put their Ass to bed and settled in for a very long wait.

The Inn keeper went back into his house, and then it kicked off.

"You know what happened last year" Mrs BM his wife said,
"I know dear" he muttered,
"Lightening never strikes twice" he said,
"It had better not, those bloody sheep are the bane of my life", she said
"I hope not" BM he said.

And so our story goes on?

Will they or wont they, that is the question, stay tuned, all will be revealed.
