‘Ello Boston: a guest writer

Charlie Wrigley wrote this in the late evening:

By: Emmanuel Lewis

Ah, Boston. I love the smell of the city; the pungent scent of steamed crawfish up and down the quarter’s outdoor café’s.

Actually, I’ve never been to Boston. They have crawfish there right? It is a city on the water, no? Gulf of Mexico as I remember.

Did you know that Boston, like me, is over forty years old? It’s true! Boston has some of the oldest buildings in the world too. One of those buildings, the Phil Hancock building, is pretty tall. In fact, it’s the biggest building in the world.

The people are so nice too! They are friendly and very kind. When I walk through the city everyone greets me with a warm smile and a ‘good morrow little fellow!” and “G’day mate!”

This is pointless. Who the hell am I fooling? Emmanuel Lewis is an actor. Not a writer pandering to a city like a shitty hair band in town for 2 nights: ‘Ello Boss-tin.’ I’m hanging on by a very thin thread here. I need some work – c’mon, hire me please?! I’ll do anything. I just can’t bear to write about any more cities for a mere pittance.

I’ve gotta do 83 more of these. San Antonio is next, I’ll never make it. Please help a little brother out! I can play 5 to 55 without make-up. I’ll do anything.

I’ll grow for the right (any) role.
