Drink Drunk
April, his somewhat new girlfriend
Wished to meet his parents.
It was a beautiful October week-end at Oxford
No special activites for them at Christ Church so why not.
True, young Thomas Wolsey, so named after the founder of Christ Church,
Tried many times to put this off, tried to suggest other outings but no.
So it was that on that famed Saturday morning
He picked her up in his Lamborghini Urus and drove the one hour
To Magdalene Manor, in his family for generation.
''One of my ancestors made his fortune in India. Opium, I think it was''.
''Father won't be here at the moment. He has some engagements in Rome''
He said as he picked up her travelling case, heading up the stairs and opened
The front door.
The first thing they saw was Mrs Wolsey sprawled on the floor
''Oh my god. Is she dead?''
''No, dear. I did wish to spare you that. Check the wine bottle by her side. Mother
is a disgrace. What can I say''.
