There's a flag
There are cars.
That's a Vauxhall !
The flag has a sash
a white or blue sash with a stripe
The sash matches the flag.
He's in uniform
white & black.
What are they doing?
Shiny shoes
I like pasta, potatoes and meat
It was a Wednesday
I think it's on a Sunday that they pass from Strada Reali to Merchants Street, and keep going on.
There are the sounds of the cars
Sounds of the Band
Sound of the Flag
The flag is white and red, white and black.
There are people chatting
He stopped and waiting to start walking.
He looks happy, he's laughing.
I have a Vauxhall.
He's angry as he couldn't take a short cut.
He's waiting for the Procession, to move.
His face is very good.
He would like to become someone - a commander (Manager/Boss)
He becomes someone important
Gets Power, Gets Thanks, Gets a Promotion
As he's part of the Band.
He's 45 or 48 years old.
He's waiting for the Band
He looks confused
Shouldn't be
As he's keen
He's waiting with the flag in his hands to continue walking ...
