Chicken Roll & a lollipop

I exited the building through the back stairwell.

Making my way down the 5 flights of stairs was the easy bit....Up next was the ultimate challenge.

How swift thy commando roll?

Pretty gee dee swift.

I made it to the Ground Floor exit. Opening the door quietly proved difficult, so I applied some Blistex to the hinges and proceeded to open it as slowly as possible.

I peered round the side. The coast was clear.

"If I'm gonna do this, I need to do it now" I thought to myself.

"One, two, GO!"

I sprinted to the delivery van parked alongside the technical electrical room and ducked by the wheel.

In the distance I could see some suited folk entering the car park. I allowed them to pass me and waited another 30 seconds just to be sure.

"GO!" I bolted away from the delivery van, this was it. If I was going to get busted it would be now. Between the delivery van and the chicken wired fence which blocks this forte off from the outside world.

Approaching the chicken wire fence enclosure I fell to my side, doing a continuous commando roll through the bottom of the fence and onto the street.

"YES! I'M FREE!" I screamed to the Heavens above me.

I can't remember a time when I was on the outside of this prison. I can't even remember a time when I felt the warmth of the sun upon my face.

I feel invincible, somewhat.....I conquered the feat all other cell mates had only ever dreamed about.

Don't get me wrong, they all tried as well, some even got the blue prints of the building tattooed to their bodies.

However determined they may have been, they ALL failed miserably.

Now it was my turn, and I succeeded.

jelkie the conqueror.

jelkie the mighty runaway jelkie.

I started to do the happy dance, but stopped mid way, I didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention to myself now. Not at the almost final stage of my jail break -(pronounced jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail break AC/DC style)

F*ck No!

I weaved my way through parked cars alongside the Alfred Hops-ital and found myself at a junction.

Why is it that every time you feel as though things are working out, you find yourself standing at this fork in the road. A junction. How confusement.

And no matter which way you chose to go, your always going to end up trekking both paths anyway....But the question remains....Which way do you want to go first.

I clung to the pole alongside the road and thought briefly for a moment.

Chicken Roll or Park?

Chicken Roll or Park?

I made a dash for the park. Ducking and diving through cars, trams, buses and trucks I found myself mildly concussed, yet entirely content to be alive.

There I stood, gazing out onto the purity of Nature's wilderness.

Leaves were slowly cascading downwards from the great mother tree's.

The smell of turned soil filled my nasal cavities.

Dog poo lingered in the air.

"Wow, it feels like I've never known this before...." my mind echoed out.

My tummy suddenly began to rumble louder then the sit on lawn mower to the right of me.

Geez, I need food and I need it 10 minutes ago.....

I looked around to see if "they'd" cottoned on to my disappearance, no one was on the jelkie trail as yet.

I begged my oasis farewell and made my way down to the sandwich bar.

(This is where the chicken roll comes into it....Are you ready?!!)

I purchased a chicken roll.

I then proceeded to do the happy dance again.

As I was shuffling my feet about, a bit of beetroot fell from my sandwich and onto the floor.

Then an old lady tripped on it.

Then she fell onto the floor and broke her hip.

Then security restrained me.

Then I got arrested for wagging work.

Then I got sued for causing bodily harm to a old bird.

Then I got deported to the Solomon Islands.

Now I'm sad.

You've got to think though....What if I went to the sandwich bar first? Would I have ever stepped in dog poo and witnessed such beauty?

What if I never wagged work?

What if I went to the pizza shop instead?

OR what if I went to Subway?

What would have become of me?

Who cares? Who knows?

I'm just glad they've got internet on the Islands.

Aloha ya'll
