Frankly, I'm feeling a bit Thomas Babbington[1] this morning. Sore three[2]
and a nasty Roger[3]. I locked myself out of the Johann[4] last night. Tried
picking the Francine[5] and kicking down the Sir Henry, but no joy. Even the
warren[6] couldn't get in. Good job it wasn't Harold[7] or I'd have been
completely Michael[8]. Chilled to the Catherine Zetas[9] as it was. Had to
spend the night in the gallant [10], and it wouldn't start this morning, so
I came on the citizen[11]. I bought some new thirteens[12] and a clean pair
of rosen[13], but the boss moaned anyway. God, he's a casa[14]. I'm busting
for a Kingsley[15] and I've got a raging Damian[16]. I'd buy you a
Germaine[17], but I'm completely Peer[18]. Do they serve Edwin[19] in the
tale[20]? I could murder a juicy Finnegan's[21] and a pint of
Icelandic[22], I don't care how many Sir Thomases[23] over my diet I go.

I'm, sorry about this, but....

I shouldn't have had that last Engelbert[1] - I was a bit gorillas[2] and
got into a spinal[3] with some flash Mona[4] who reckoned he was elegy[5]
cos he was wearing loads of fellow[6]. He was a right Curt[7] in the
Feydeau[8]. I got in a good naked[9] to his Evelyn[10], but the little
onthe[11] kicked me right in the inspectors[12], and only just missed my
Brighton[13]. The barman called us a pair of stupid Bettys[14] but didn't
want to make a Charlotte[15] and just threw us into the Bronski[16]. I
gospelled[17] all over my six-o-clocks[18], and now I've got to go all the
way X[19] on the Magda[20].
