Crusoe and Bob
To whoever finds this letter
please thank the pigeon
I'm stuck on an island
fuck knows where, please send help
Yours Sincerely
Crusoe
Dear Crusoe
I got your letter,
I gave the pigeon some bread and sent you a tuna sandwich
can you describe where you are?
Bob
Dear Bob
Thanks for the sandwich
all I can see is sand and sea, a few trees and the remains of the aeroplane
where it crashed
Crusoe
Hi Crusoe
That's not much help, I need some directions
A crash? Fuck
Are you badly injured? What happened to the other passengers?
Bob
Bob
I'm feeling amazingly well, considering
sorry to say the other passengers are all dead now
just me and the pigeon
Crusoe
Dear Crusoe
Bloody hell old chap how long have you been out there?
Here's a pencil and some more paper so you can draw the island
maybe we can work out where it is.
Bob
Bob
I've lost track of days, I think it's been a few months,
You should see my motherfucking beard,
Here's my drawing
Crusoe
Crusoe
Thanks for the drawing
I'll see if anyone recognises it,
but one small thing, what are those black things on the beach?
Bob
Hey Bob
Oh the black things?
Those are the rest of them from the plane. Well what's left of them
just bones, I can't eat the fucking bones as well
Crusoe
Jesus Christ
Are you saying you ate them?
What are you, an animal?
Who would do such a thing? Seriously man.
Bob
Bob
Calm down you prick
Most of them were already dead, I only shot a few.
What do you take me for? I couldn't eat the pigeon
Crusoe
Crusoe
It's Bob for the last time
You murdering scumbag, this is the last time you'll hear from me
You can shove the pigeon up your arse
Bob
Bob
Are you there Bob?
Bob!
For Fuck's sake! This island is doing my head in.
Bob?
