Meeting Joe King

We met Joe King outside the pub.
Robert engaged him in conversation.
What band ye in?
The Queers.
It's too smoky in there man, he said.
Lots of passive smoking, said I.
Huh?
Passive smoking.
So you guys from here in Edin boro?
No, from Fife.
How far's that from here?
Across the bridge.
(This clearly means nothing to him).

"We took a walk around Edin boro.
It's nice".
