Felt i needed to explain some characteristics of a very common character found in an admittedly narrow (ha) corridor of the known world
#killie#VERY TANGENTIALLY#killie and charlie#AGAIN TANGENTIALLY#but tbf. no context needed. lick this man and you can localise him.#start in bristol. turn right. walk towards london on the towpath. you'll find him.#you can detect his grad school advisors from this i hope.#mash together geologist and boatie as two concepts and you shouk#should instantly have a mental picture of his favourite rocks.#at all times he has kendal mint cake and three bruises. he has named every duck on the avon and is not allowed in the tesco at Hungerford#you already know this guy. he's barely even an oc. just a name for an existing phenomenon.#janky bicycle. showered at your place once when he got iced in and ran out of water. is therefore your sworn friend for life.#has a chain saw thats a literal. a literal chain saw. a chain that bunches up in hisnpocket#for stealing pieces of unwanted tree that nobody else is looking at in that precise moment. i can keep going endlessly with all this#evidence of utter normality#invited you round for vegan burns night. haggis caught fire and he threw it out the window with a splash#problem solved#especially since most of the problem was the vegan haggis.#throwing it out the hatch on the splashy side instead of the towpath side was inspired#eat porridge instead#great evening. very memorable. in the morning the ducks having discovered the haggis in disgust contrive to dislodge the gangplank#and ken is like.its sad that their lives are so high-conflict. and he ju#jumps magnificently onto the bank to get it back and gets 3 new bruises and nettle rash.#Charlie and Ken(dal Mint Cake)

The Towpath Inn
There is a bridge that sits astride
A canal, where dark waters slide
Like a black ribbon, deep and wide;
By a tavern called the Towpath Inn
The path that gives the Inn its name
Has barely changed, is just the same
As when the narrowboats first came;
The boaters and their kin
They say some nights you can hear it, still
When the moon is pale, the air is chill
When the atmosphere is calm, tranquil;
Nothing at all stirring
The past floods in, and all around
Is the plod of hooves upon the ground,
The break of water, a gentle sound;
Almost beyond hearing
As if a ghostly boat were making way
Down the cut, where the otters play
Past the bank, where the tall reeds sway;
To where the lock stands firm
He spied it once, one man swore
Stumbling out of the old Inn door
Certain he knew what he saw;
Though none could confirm
For that man drank too much ale
So folk did not believe his tale
Yet he tells it still, though to no avail;
It’s called a drunken lie
But I know what that man perceived
I know why he is so aggrieved
I know that he’s to be believed;
For I saw, with my own eye
With roses and castles painted bright
A narrowboat sailed past me one night
Coming from nowhere, no end in sight;
A pale horse drawing it on
It drifted past me, quiet as death
The name on the side, Beloved Beth
I watched, astounded, held my breath;
Then horse and boat were gone
If you should ever see a bridge astride
A canal, where dark waters slide
Like a black ribbon, deep and wide;
By the Towpath Inn, then do
Remember time, like water, flows
Under the bridge where a pale horse tows
The boat 'Beloved Beth;’ who knows?
You might see it, too…
