Panda drives down Bridge Street towards ,The Brazen Head (The Oldest Pub in Dublin and a Pub
Panda himself used to frequent on a regular basis many moons before .)
Taxi a voice rang out.
Panda stops and there's a couple standing there both about 50 ish..
The guy opens the door and bails into the back seat ,she follows and says,
You're some fecking gentleman,
What do you mean ,Nora ?,He says.
What do you mean,What do I mean ?,Nora says.
You got in first,Dumbo,That's What I mean,says Nora.

Glasnevin says Dumbo.
Panda drives over the Liffey and up Church Street.
Sorry ,love says Dumbo.
Don't sorry me with your love says Nora.
Next there's a big pop from Dumbo.
You smelly fecker says Nora.
Panda opens the window for some fresh air.
You ,Dumbo , are sleeping in the spare room tonight,
I'm not putting up with your Elephant farts and snoring all night,she says.
But ,But,,,,,,,,,says Dumbo.
But But But,Don't But me,And don't try and sneak in 'cause the door will be locked, says Nora.
Panda drives on through Phibsborough and then up the Mobhi road.
Buddy ,I know a short cut up here says Dumbo.
Okay ,says Panda.
What shortcut are you talking about Dumbo ?she says.
The right up here he says.
Eh ,Hello ,That,s an Illegal turn she says ,Don't mind that Gobshite she says to Panda.
Panda listens to Nora and drives straight on 'til they get to Their road.
Nora gets out first and says to Dumbo Pay the man his money.
Dumbo roots through his trouser pockets , then his Jacket pockets ,then
trousers again.
Panda had a pain in his rocks waiting for him to pay.
Next the door behind Panda, where Dumbo was sitting opens and
Nora grabs Dumbo by the ear and says ,Get out you Gobshite , I can't bring you
anywhere ,you always make a show of me .
Dumbo squeals with the pain.
Nora pays Panda and says,Sorry about him,but 4 pints of Guinness and he gets
very drunk.
Panda thanks Nora and heads off , glad to be rid of Smelly Dumbo.
