Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Life doesn’t get much more exciting!
This was a genuine conversation in the pharmacist’s yesterday. Fortunately there were no other customers. Readers of a delicate disposition need read no further…
Hobbo: Have you anything for hemorrhoids please?
Chemist: Pardon?
Hobbo: (Shouting) Hemorrhoids, have you anything for hemorrhoids?
Chemist: Emma who? I can’t hear you. Can you lower your mask please.
Hobbo: (Does so) Hemorrhoids, piles, have you anything for piles?
Chemist: Oh! You should have said! (indicates articles on shelf) We have these or this.
Hobbo: Those?
Chemist: Suppositories. You put them up your bottom.
Hobbo: Er, I’ll give them a miss thanks. What’s the other.
Chemist: It’s a cream. My mother has piles, and she swears by it!
Hobbo: What does she say? it doesn’t bloody work!
Chemist: She swears it helps her.
Hobbo: Okay, I’ll take some. How much is it?
Chemist: £4.20 for the small one(indicates Lilliputian sized box) or £6.20 for this (indicates box large enough to treat a platoon of hemorrhoid sufferers for the next 10 years).
Hobbo: Better take the large one…
A fine mid-morning chuckle. A social comment if one allows the mind a bit of rein. Any number of ways. Especially if, as declared, this has basis in personal frustration. Press on! I’m slacked-off, and will take delight in the Grand Muse’s musings to hold my grumpy-old in check..

Thank you. I was just glad that there was no one else in the pharmacy at the time!

Had there been others, it might well have taken off on a longer, even more riotous tack. I do know the Hobbo; it’s his way. And we love it.

I had a similar experience in Marks and Spencer’s one Christmas buying underwear for Mrs H. That’s a shopping trip I’ll maybe share at a later date!

You need triggers. PSAs. Something. Maybe a hazmat symbol?
