Took a seat next to a friend in the bar. <br />Greeted him with 'Hey' <br />To which he replied, 'Yeah'. <br />And we sat quietly sipping our beer. <br /> <br />I noticed he was twisting something <br />Between his thumb and forefinger. <br />Rolling it round and round a bit. <br />Nothing much else was going on. <br /> <br />So, I said, 'Interesting.' <br />To which he replied, 'Yeah.' <br />And we sat awhile. <br />And he held it up to the light. <br /> <br />Curiosity killed the cat, they say <br />So I asked, 'Could I see it.' <br />And he seemed surprised, <br />Unwilling to share it, I surmised. <br /> <br />Then after another sip of beer, <br />He offered it to me <br />So I could more clearly see. <br />Although, he seemed somewhat at a loss. <br /> <br />I took it carefully in my hand <br />And held it to the light <br />Yet I still did not understand, <br />What it was that held his interest. <br /> <br />So, I said, 'Don't think <br />I ever seen <br />The likes of it.' <br />And he said, 'Yeah.' <br /> <br />It had a soft texture <br />Pliable to the touch <br />And somewhat brown <br />But not too much. <br /> <br />'Interesting.' said I, <br />As I rolled it between <br />Thumb and forefinger <br />The way I had seen him do. <br />'Yeah.' Said he. <br /> <br />'Where'd you get it? ' <br />I enquired as he finished his beer <br />And stood to go. <br /> <br />'My nose.'<br /><br />Sidi J.
