HORSES AND CARTS
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. Love the CARTOON - Brian has ruined all my Sunday Hats demonstrating *La Baile de Mexico* for Pensioners !

Blessings & Peace for You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !

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

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

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here ~ Good Tuesday Uncle MIKE ~ no Poem today BOTH too busy at Work ! Us Young ones have to earn a CRUST ! Love the idiotic IDIOMS my fave is No 3 ! I know what a APPLE CART is and how easily they are upset ! When I used to visit Sevilla in the Summer as a Child in addition to Vineyards Mis Abuelos grew Oranges & Lemons & Apples. The Apples were always ripe first and we used to pick them and put them (carefully) into big baskets ! The APPLE CART was Low & Flat & Horse Drawn. We used to sit on the Cart and hold on to our BASKET because the ground was bumpy ad we didnt want to *Upset the Apple Cart* and Bruise and Dirty the Apples which were bound for the Local Market to be sold on the Family Stall ! Its not much different today in Rural Spain ~ AMEN !
Love the Cartoon ! In essence I wear about six Hats ~ Physio - Wife - Gardener - Singer - Youth Laeder etc & so does BRIAN ! However fortunately they are CYBER HATS except the Floppy One I wear for Gardening. We have two Apple Trees but no Wooden Apple Cart just a plastic Wheelbarrow - Wobbly with ONE WHEEL ! No Poem today *MY SENSE OF TOUCH* TOMORROW !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
