years ago,i tried accupuncture,with one of those doctor and herb chinky chappies.

the young female shop assistant caught me looking into the window,
and was at me like a shot,
with the patter.

"you'll feel differently after the first session"
she said.

and she wasn't lying.

after a few months my back-ache did go.

but at £40 a go,
for me that's prohibitve now.

reckon she could do me some good though.

there's one of these near a pub i drink in, they close and re-open every year and get raided every year for the knocking shop upstairs

"hurro sir, you have velly bad sklin ploblem? - wew you wiw if you glo upstlairs to see slitty sally"

walked past it loads, never seen a customer in years

acupuncture stopped my parents smoking, no mean fete they had been doing it for 40 years.
