81. Holes

Like people, holes come in all shapes and sizes, some large are large and some are small. The ones I refer to those are large enough to accommodate most persons.
When arriving at Christchurch Meadow, Oxford, Billy spotted such a hole and brought it to our attention, and said “When we return tonight, we’d better not forget about   the perils of falling down such a hole. Billy having a been a prominent  Boy Scout in a former  life even pointed out that he would bring along  a source of illumination.”There’s no need to tell us Billy, we’re not stupid “said The Captain, “Well that remains to be seen” added the Cabin Boy.
After each consuming at least a gallon of a variety of excellent ales sipped in several pubs, our intrepid crew advanced slowly in the dark to their mooring. On arriving at our mooring, there was heard a string of expletives consisting   mainly of four-lettered words. Yes Jimmy had no recollection of the of the hole and promptly disappeared down the hole .Billy peered down the hole and said “Told you so”. The Captain gazed up and shouted “Get that fuckin’ light out of my eyes and give me a hand up”. The First Mate helped the Captain out of the hole and said “You could do with a beer old son”
