Here\'s one for you about Northern Spaniards stuck in a revolving Hotel Door !
Never try to get too many Basques in one Exit !

Michael,
Great one liners!
Some advice for “He who rides a high horse...”
It’s advisable to learn how to dismount that high horse to get along in this world!

Beautiful flowers!

Missed you! Hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day!

Love your painting and shorties. They’re “Handfuls of gold”!

He who rides a \'high\' horse has lost his sense of smell.
Muddy Waters sang his blues to the moonlight.
No noose is good noose.
Greed always gets me more gravy.

Couldn\'t resist the above.

A fine write Michael. I may have to get off me \'hobby-horse\' - waffling on about nothing in particular, and boring everyone with it! heehee.

Your seventh line is unsurpassed... a descriptive mere mortals may never grasp.
Thank you for that line aloe you must have smiled when that left the pen.

SLR said:

I\'ve missed your work. I hope all is well. Do I miss my guess or are these cyclamin? (I worked part time in a greenhouse but it\'s been several years ago and my memory of flowers and their names is sketchy at best) They only bloom here in cool weather and it\'s so nice to see their pop of color when nothing else is green or blooming. Love the \"seduced in calm seclusion\" . Great line. Good to have you back!

LOVE HEALS
Laura🌻 said:

Michael,
A fine write to serve as a reminder that words do matter...especially to children ( in my humble opinion)! I believe the adults have a better chance at defending themselves at handling the war of words...but not children. They hurt easily! I’d always teach my young students and my own children about “sticks and stones...”, “talk to the hand...”, “ignore...”, etc. when someone would hurl offensive words at them! Showering them with love is the antidote!

Beautiful flowers...
Thank you for the share!

Words do hurt and love can heal. However, often they leave a scar that can never be removed. Great write!

orchidee said:

A true write Michael. So \'names can hurt us\'. It\'s not just \'sticks and stones may break our bones\'.
Difficult if someone is an insensitive non \'people-person\'.
Some leaving do\'s at work were a bit icy with the manageress present. They left her out of staff Christmas do\'s. heehee. Sounds cruel, but you don\'t know how horrid she could be.
