Rambling On: An Apprentice’s Guide to the Gift of the Gab

A few days later I set out to say thank you to Ionic Man once again, but they told me he’d died the day before, all of a sudden he’d died, out of the blue, suddenly, within three hours, he was dead. I asked: “And where’s his hat, that white felt hat, the hat he used to sleep with, where’s the hat?” They told me: “Oh he lost it, well not lost, but having finished loading a truck with cauliflowers, he briefly hung his hat on the lamp-hook of the truck at the end of the train, and it would be the end one, wouldn’t it? And the train started to move and his hat departed on the lamp-hook of the end truck and when Ionic Man went back to his horses, the train was gone, and with it his hat. And so without his hat Ionic Man lost his strength, and after he got home he took to his bed, and in three hours, all of a sudden, he was dead. Where did that end truck take Ionic Man’s halo?
