Atackka takka attackka takkatakka tuktuk all day.‭ ‬Saturdays.‭ ‬Sundays.‭ ‬Holidays.‭ ‬Takka Takka during the game.‭ ‬During the morning.‭ ‬In traffikakka kaka.
Why wasn't that good enough for ye‭? ‬Everything I promised.‭ ‬Why not good enough‭? ‬Couldn't you let it be‭? ‬We have the whole rest of our lives to tinker with it.‭ ‬Now,‭ ‬let sleeping dogs lie‭!
Takka takka in a hole in the ground,‭ ‬the sound pounding in my brain.‭ ‬Head full of pints last night.‭ ‬Felt very brave for all of ten seconds lurking in the shadow of the gloom when none could see me,‭ ‬then emerged,‭ ‬petrified,‭ ‬into the transport-driven chaos.‭ ‬Faltering along the quays over bumps and bridges,‭ ‬roadworks' hammer forging on my anvil.
Attacka-takka-too-tingatinga,‭ ‬takka tak.‭ ‬Battling the elements,‭ ‬animals and the shopping carts,‭ ‬swerving around traffic cones,‭ ‬diving out of the way of cabs and buses,‭ ‬rolling in the soiled undergrowth of litter,‭ ‬nervous breakdown under construction.‭ ‬Takka kak tew.
