JanuaryLight: raincoat
Why am I posting a picture of a raincoat? Because it reminds me of this couplet from the song Big shot, by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which has always tickled me:
A punk stopped me on the street. He said, “You got a light, Mac?”
I said, “No, but I’ve got a dark brown overcoat.”
I don’t have a dark brown overcoat, but I do have a light mac! On this penultimate day of the January Squares words ending in light challenge I hope you will also delight in the joke. Or maybe you won’t. Forgive me, Becky, for mucking about with your theme.

It’s all a matter of where you put the commas, emphasis, or, as a linguist would say, the coarticulatory factors.

Ha! I don’t have a dark brown overcoat either, but I also have a light mac. And about twenty other coats – I seem to keep acquiring them, despite telling myself to stop buying them!

I have several but tend to wear the same one most of the time! Not the light mac – a Scottish winter demands something more substantial than that.

My kind of humour – very Goonish.
“How do I get out of here?”
“You turn the knob on your side”.
“I haven’t got a knob on my side.” etc!

I like it! I thought maybe my humour was warped but it seemed to appeal to others too.

Absolutely adore your clever take on Becky’s Light theme. Had me chuckling this morning, Not every day that one sees The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band quoted in a blog post 😉
