The World According to... Boring John

They laughed at me when I started playing the piano...

Erm, I mean they laughed at me when they looked at my shoes, my black pair of Campers.

And now everyone wears these casual yet stylish shoes, whether black, brown or blue. A different pair for every day of the week, almost, and the shops are full of 'em.

"Exactly, John!" said Julie "That's cos Campers are fashionable now."

Exactly, sis, exactly.

"Huh?"

I wear what suits me not what suits fashion.

Or, I prefer not to make a certain noise when I go shopping and when I put on clothes (or when I talk, or think or even write).

"What noise?"

Baaaaa!

"Ah!" she paused a moment, "You're so marvellous, John..."

Another pause.

"Maybe that's why they laughed!"

Ah!
