LIMERICK 79
dusk arising said:

He aspired to become an MP
which he achieved with the greatest of glee
bereft of all malice
he was called to the palace
before her majestyhe took to his knee

His knighthood really made Sir Paul
The finest Lord of them all
resplendent in ermine
commoners were now vermin
mere servants at his beck and call


I can\'t resist joining in with your limericks. Nice one.

I see this from this angle - Is it wrong, even scandalous, that many still don\'t know of benefits they can claim? There\'s \'heat or eat\' for example, and not just elderly people.
Also, not only homeless people have the need to use Food Banks.
Miss Berles claimed all the entitlement of sylla-berles for us?

I think that might be poetry....even I, not a great lover of depictions of nature in words, appreciated this. Picture a perfect complement. Thanks Michael.

Oh for more poetic journeys such as this. Worth waiting for.
\"in thoroughfares of shredded light\" words of poetry only the visual artist would create.
Into my favourites.

After a night of wenchin
he finally let go the tension
it stank like no other
from under the covers
his fart hung in suspension

Cor blimey M.E. you must be younger than I thought because for an old fogey like me the first morning pleasure is to acknowledge and relieve my prostate\'s importuning demands for a pee.

Nice one, is that picture a \"scratch and sniff\" type?

love that single, shrub-like
bouquet of colourful, flower heads
shadow-less - leaning suggestively, away
from that generic pristine of walled
almost institutional, ivory white..
such a subtle focal point, or detail
that adds layers of meaning
to this idyllic, scene
you\'ve captured wonderfully;
what a nuanced talent, you posses
my friend..
and as-ever
what timely and insightful words of commentary, you\'ve shared..
thank you!

Good (sylla) berles and pic here. Are the berles more expensive at the moment? Hence the short writes?
(Everyone but you will think I\'m talking rubbish here - no change there, then?!) lol.
