Cuhulian Wastes Away (continued)

Prologue to The Second Part

"There is a house in this town
that is where my true love hangs around
and he takes other women up on his knee
and tells 'em tales he won't tell me.

It's hard, it's hard, it's a hard
to love one that never will love you
it's hard it's a hard it's a hard Blodyn
to love one that never will be true."

Cuhuhlian Wastes Away (Recommenced)

Upon a time and upon hearing that he would need to carve a replica of
the chariot tag oghams on an aspen twig, Cu would have, if he was up to
snuff, unleashed such a generalized mayhem on Mr. Gog......and
likely that the tourist court would have also suffered much in the way of
structural damage and that many civilians in the neighborhood would have
been maimed and kilt off collaterally. But on this occasion, due to feelin'
poorly and out of sorts, Cu meekly took the proffered twig, went back
outside, sat down on the cold hard ground in the wet grass behind the
chariot where he would have a good view of the tag and laboriously began to
carve replicas of the tag oghams into the twig. This took awhile. And
due to his feelin' poorly and bein' shaky from the cold and wet and not
bein' able to wear his mittens due to the refinement of the work of
ogham carvin', that same ogham carvin' went south on him and he was about
to give it up and go ask Gog fer another twig to work on, when lo and
behold two ladies sidled up to where Cu was sittin'.

One of the ladies wore a red dress and t'other had on a green 'un, and
they winked at Cu in this manner. The lady in red winked at Cu with
her left eye and the lady in green winked at Cu with her right eye.
Then, both ladies spoke up coincidentally at the same time. "Hello Cu.
Kilt any birds, lately, have ye?"

Then fer the first time since that miserable night of more'n a turn of
the wheel past, Cu recalled the dreadful wet rope whuppin' he took and
remembered well these twain ladies, so that Cu hunkered down even
further in the cold wet grass anticipatin' another similar whuppin'. But
in the process of hunkerin' down, Cu managed to whimper, in response to
the direct question, "No Mams, but I did eat fried chicken a time er
two that Eithne fixed, fer me."

"Whut about dogs, have ye et dogs?"

"Nooooooooooo. No, no, no!"

"All righty then, Cu. We are here to hep ye. So give us that twig and
we will set the oghams in it, fer ye." So Cu handed over his botched
twig and the ladies magicked the oghams onto it fer Cu. Then all three
of 'em, that is the two ladies and Cu, went in to see Gog about getting
Cu a room for the night at the tourist court.
