You know why we drink whisky and eat chillies as we get older?
Sooner or later, life numbs you - drudgery dulls. 'Imagination' becomes irrelevant - all the things it wants are impossible, so it shuts down. When it sneakily surfaces, it bites every nerve. It should be - it is horrible - but it's exhilarating.
Not just whisky, or chilli. A pang of spurned love. A kiss with a fist. A taste of the whip.
There's Jemima. Jemima's in an indie band.
Her voice, her face and her figure are as one, a Single Malt.
Jemima burns me up. And I like it.

Nice drabble, Cliff.

Thanks - I quite liked it, but it seems to have been the most unpopular one until now - first vote! Much appreciated! :)
