That middle rhyme had me in stitches Michael - another clever slant on the original nursery rhymes - I love your sense of humour - - and another adorable picture to add to the pleasure of visiting your page.

Fay Slimm. said:

Ah a clever alternative to the nursery rhymes Michael and reading them set me into giggle-fits - you are so clever at writing the slightly sensuous - - brilliantly presented watercolour too. Saved these little naughties to read again.

The watercolor is superb!
Love all three of them. To me they also sound very \'British\' (sausages in a pie? For real?, pub, and the never-ending rain!) Hey, I am not knocking it, just observing! :-)

Ahh, this explains my swoons. I remember hearing nursery rhymes like this when I was young - and up to about age 18. lol.

GUILT
myself and me said:

lovely paint, could be a nice place to visit. By watching the paint, it could unload the burden of guilty.

GUILT
Louis Gibbs said:

I fully appreciate the beautiful watercolor, Michael. I\'m a bit lost on the poem, however. Fred\'s comments helped a little, but it somehow doesn\'t register with me ... my shortcoming I\'m sure, and I apologize.
I will continue to ponder.

A very deep write. Very good in so few words! Absolutely beautiful picture of the church scene!

THE CONFORMIST
FredPeyer said:

To me \'thinking outside of the box\' is like an out of body experience, where we look at ourselves and our lives from a different perspective, free of all constraints, limitations, and conventions.
Great poem, great rhyming too!

GUILT
orchidee said:

Waitrose might be too snobbish to notice guilt. Too busy charging us too much!

GUILT
FredPeyer said:

Beautiful painting, and a nice story too regarding the sale.
Now for the poem: Read it, made it a favorite immediately. Read it again, and again, am still contemplating it, and probably will for a while. Do I feel guilty because I was cruel in my dreams? Or do I have cruel dreams because I am guilty? You do pack a lot of meaning into only a few words. Love your shorties!

I wanted that pic for my KP wedding! Too late now! lol.

GUILT
orchidee said:

Yes, and is the guilt real, or not? Which is worse - true or imagined guilt?
And why all this somewhat deep stuff from me this early of a morning. I will give myself a headache thinking!
A fine write and pic Michael.

Very good and true write.

Fabulous artwork - where is it. It must be wonderful to walk over that bridge to that building (Church?).

A COUPLE OF COUPLETS TIMES TWO
FredPeyer said:

You are a master of couplets: the brush and the pen!

A COUPLE OF COUPLETS TIMES TWO
myself and me said:

Couplets times two and with a couple inside the paint. Enjoy the reading and the paint.

THE CONFORMIST
MendedFences27 said:

I always say, \"Think outside of the big picture, \" and people say, \"What?\"

Whatever kind of box it is, you\'ve put the lid on it and nailed it shut with your \"uniform, conform, orthodox, box \" rhyme. I find it conveys the thought perfectly. Well done Michael. Beautiful painting by the way. - Phil A.

THE CONFORMIST
myself and me said:

Sometimes, the box is invisible.

THE CONFORMIST
Louis Gibbs said:

The \"Box\", to me, is the programming we receive, teaching us \'what to think\' rather then \'how to think\'. Once ingrained, it is difficult to let our minds explore outside of it. The ones who let their minds escape \'the box\' are the ones who move the species forward.
This poem nails it, Michael! Excellent write.

THE CONFORMIST
Fay Slimm. said:

The box of sheer conformity is something we need to think about escaping from and yes I agree we are surrounded by sayings such as this one Michael - - great work with the brush again.
