ESCAPE FROM MELBOURNE - (CD wire service) Canadian
rocker Carl Dixon has been reported escaped from
Epworth hospital in Melbourne, Australia following a
4-month stay in that country’s health system. “He’s
just cleared out his stuff and gone” said ward
spokesperson Luke Peyton. ”We know he was becoming
increasingly agitated and chafing at his
restrictions”. Nursing staffers Ellamae, Lynn and
Maria-Cecelia, who all refused to divulge their last
names, agreed that while Dixon could be a handful at
times, the candy and chocolate stash in his room
more than made up for it.

Supervising physician Dr. Michael Ponsford
is taking the news hard, according to his staff. “We had
just planned out a weekly concert series in the ward to
feature Carl” reports managing nurse Jackie. “Matching dance
lessons in which the Doctor was going to instruct us were
set to go. This is a blow, I'm sure.”
As to the elusive rockers whereabouts, nobody has firm
knowledge. However, according to nurse Megan, “I’ll wager
that silly bugger’s taken off for home back in Canada; he
wouldn’t shut up about it”.
The Epworth Transport drivers Dion and Rod, who would
normally take Dixon to Melbourne region appointments, would
neither confirm nor deny having played a role in Dixon’s
escape. One of them was heard to growl “If I had helped him,
I wouldn’t be tellin’ you”.
A check of the departures from Melbourne Airport reveals
that a passenger Dixon did fly out Aug. 12 via Air New
Zealand, but no other information is being made available at
this time.
The last word comes from Mr. Dixon himself, who left a note
on his hospital bed with the cryptic title “ Stitches and
Sutures and Staples”:
“I woke up one day in a peculiar situation, my love
smiling down like an angel over me
She said you’re hurt, you’re in a hospital. No, no don’t try
to get up
You’ve been asleep for nine days now ‘cause you’re a mess of
injuries
Thank God the worst is over, don’t know how you survived
You’ve got to do exactly as you’re told now for us to bring
you back to life
With all your Stitches and sutures and staples
No time now for all your wishes and futures and fables
Give in to your Stitches and sutures and staples
And dream on.
PS EPWORTH YOU ROCK!
