Francines Fish and Chips

13th July 2023

After asking the lady in the Kelly’s ice cream shop

in the teeming tourist harbour of Charleston,

The best place to get good fish and chips,

The Skies opened and we hid in walled tunnel by the beach.

If you have been before, you will know the one!

A local stoner sat hood up,

smoking a doobie in the drizzle on the Peebles below.

He moved away in perfect time,

As a quantity of Water poured from the run off of the hilly street above.

We took this as a sign to move away from Charleston Harbour.

As soon as it stopped We went to Francines in StAustell.

We waited 20 mins for our supper and scuppered away to Carloyn bay.

On the sandy beach A double rainbow graced our presence.

It was the best fried fish ever.

Phil wouldn’t let me give my chips to the gulls.
