I start many things
But they remain undone
So are they finished
When they are not done.

Ha ha - that image of G. dancing the can can did it for me Mike - giggles completed I liked the clever bouquet of reasons around horse and cart. Great stuff.

L. B. Mek said:

a cart with no wheels: symbolism or hovercraft?
of closed roads, there is no doubt: symbolic or U-turn fanatical non-existent road signs, both - have had us all, scream and shout

ANGELA here - Morning Uncle Mike - Enjoying our STAYCATION here - Weather excellent & not TOO WINDY. 7 - 7 Sonnet tomorrow *SAILING IN COWS* ! The INDIANS have a Mantra *Elephants Push ~ Horses Pull* which solve one of you dilemmas (bon mot) but not all of them.

I too find roads closed, I am sure that there is somebody watching me and when they see me get in the car they \'phone somebody up and arrange to get the road dug up somewhere on my journey!

A creative artist called mike
would cycle to work on his bike
the air it inspired him
the exercise tired him
relaxed he created his likes

Celebration was often overdue
when Glenit created things new
though progress was steady
the world was unready
for the things his inventions could do.

poetically inspired by day
sometimes he had nothing to say
so he adopted the model
where one simply writes twaddle
and by george made his poetry pay

I find limerics just too tempting and have to contribute

LIMERICK 68
L. B. Mek said:

not as straightforward on 3rd read (indeed, we should all have a car park for our thoughts, maybe then we wouldn\'t end-up imitating herded cows: gift wrapped with our bowties of bells),
insightfully clever and as deceptively witty as ever!

A lovely bunch of idioms. \"Cowards,\"
are\" tough\" to \"get going.\" and with that I will cease. You bring me laughter, Thank you. - Phil A.

L. B. Mek said:

these are getting edgy, also is Glenit facing backwards? lol
I also think the \'literally\' school of idioms or \'sayings\' are particularly grating: \'you literally had me dying\'.....? I think they deserve an entry by themselves in your series
(if I may be bold enough to suggest)

What has that nail done to you!

..of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where\'s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper pecked.( In our choir we sing that as a round - great fun).

Going back presumably.


In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
I\'m afraid these don\'t grow on trees,
You\'ve got to pick-a-pocket or two
You\'ve got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys,
You\'ve got to pick-a-pocket or two.

Someone once told me, \"It was so quiet you could hear a mouse drop.\" I guess that\'s mixing idioms, though. Your 4 gave me a laugh. Liked Marc Antony\"s line best, \"Lend me you ears - You can have them back tomorrow.\" Plunk it into Will\'s play and it is a Monty Python skit. Still laughing.... - Phil A.

ANGELA here (Clinic @ 2pm) Good Mit Vok Uncle MIKE! Love the cartoon! I know what your mean I have been accosted from a CAR (BMW !) while walking in London ! I was offered ยฃ50 ! I declined and gave Him a Gideon New Testament but not my Phone Number I was 25. He thanksd me - smiled & crawled on! Only Gentlemen drive BMWs?
My fave is No 2. The famous Speech by Marc Anthony after the assassination of JC by Btutus et Al ! It behoves us all to listen more - especially the MINISTER for EDUCATION!

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
