A Chilly Day
The north-north-west wind has been removed to protect the innocent. A Menshevik came to the door today – I saw them coming along the road and purposely kept him waiting. When I went to the door I told him I had a special offer of Bolsheviks. He was non-plussed and left. I was non-pulsed and nearly left. But not left leaning. Speaking of leaning it was at such a moment that Lenin seized power. Seeing his opportunity he climbed to the top of a lamppost to address the crowd. Inevitably he whipped out his ukulele, gave a quick strum, and burst out ‘I’m Lenin on the lamppost at the corner of the street….’
Turned out nice again.
