THREE SMILES
Mother said: ‘You must wash your hands my dear’.
Son said: ‘Of course, is it that time of year?’
----------------------
A friends funeral
I went to it yesterday
He’ll not go to mine.
----------------------
In the trash mail that littered our mail box today
A political leaflet- and what did it say?
‘’Help stamp out litter – we’ll show you the way! ‘’

Good fun write, the one about the litter really resonates.
The pub on the corner looks like it may serve a good pint.
I believe it does but a bit spit and sawdust or so I'm told.
Absolutely love the second one. Wish I'd written it. Didn't realise you could be so wicked. Excellent, keep it up.
We ? Wicked ? Thanks for looking in Garry
Verses like that make looking in well worth it.
Another smile raised by your valued sayings dear Michael and as for the watercolour - -- wow so real I felt I was there
Thanks Fay - turning to my effeminate side and painting flowers this afternoon.
Brilliant love them
Michael, the litter one
Made me chuckle
I don't know if you've
Read my poem
" mysterious brown mail "
It was a bit of humour aimed
At the ridiculous amount of
Junk mail we get.. all adds
To the litter problem. If you
Haven't read it, please if you
Find 5 mins read it and let
Me know what you think..
Thanks PH - I'll go to it straight away.
Great fun Michael!

Good work Michael all very relevant and the painting is just great they are starting to use those round a bouts here I hate them.
Ah then that's something new - I have never come across them when I've been in States. Once you are used to them they are actually quite good regarding maintaining traffic flow.
yes I am sure you're right, just the getting used to part?
I loved the last one! Nice write Michael. love, Izzy
Bless you Izzy
Great write, all three made me smile
I do like a bit of frivolous - glad you liked them.
Welcome
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love the smiles to balance some of the very sad poems we get on MPS ! Love the painting and the mini~roundabouts (like a dinner plate in the road) also cause me to smile. If I'm feeling frivolous I sometimes I drive right over them ! Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian - same as you - I get a perverted sense of pleasure driving across them.
Great fun. I'm inclined toward number three, trash mail Why worry about disposal of trash, why not prevent its generation? There you go, and don't get me started on roundabouts, we call them rotaries. You take your life in your hands getting around one. - Phil A.
Thanks Phil - they are part of life here in the UK and we are so used to them we think nothing about them - so you call them rotaries?
