Four good ones Michael but i would have thought that in your hands a charcoal stick is mightier than the pen, it certainly is in my daughters hands, she has drawn some amazing images with charcoal, one of which always looks over me as i write my words. (In fact there may be a poem there about that picture).

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD MORNING UNCLE MIKE ~ Brian Here ~ We know where you Live and Im sending the BIG CATZ round to make a meal of all your DOGGIES ! Dogs apart from being noisy - odourous - obtrusive & needing Walkies are so heterogenous ! Different breeds - shapes & sizes ! If you*ve had a LAB and then you get a SCOTTIE you have to learn a new language & and a new routine ! With CATS - One Size & Shape fits all. When you get a New CAT all the skills you learned with your Old CAT are transferable ! Smokey & I bonded in hours because Mum had always had CATS. Older Friends of ours (80+) have had over 20 cats in 60 years and each one has bonded (and taken over the House !) in hours ! For Angel & I SMOKEY changed our House into a Home in a DAY ~ A Dog would have wrecked it in a day ~ AMEN !

Please check our FUSION on CITIES
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angel - Brian & Smokey ! ! !

no cat for me,
its my Husky \'Thor\' that barks with glee,
with judgemental eyes firmly squared on me,
waiting for all that pent-up energy to by set free,
I couldn\'t resist 😁,
another one of your writes that helped start my day with a good chuckle

Oh lol, good write and pic M.
We have new-ish cats on the block, as well as existing ones. They make a fuss and visit for food from us!
I\'m sure I saw a tortoise-shell like dachshund recently - unusual. Used to call them dash hounds.
Miss Berles got a dog?

A grin from me as well Michael. I see one regularly at the coffee shop I go to regularly.
No cats for me either - arrogant creatures.

A waspish grin to start my day, thank you.

no cat for me
a faithful dog it has to be
a frankfurter upon four willing legs
and caster where his belly sags

Cartoon - A great one-liner.
Poem - Has two identical ends, just like the stick..almost. If you remove an \"i\" from the last stanza, and someone says, \"There\'s an \"i\" missing.\' you can say you poked it out with your stick. Just a thought.
Great art, great poem. Lots of fun. - Phil A.

Don\'t walk too close to the building in case the pointy end comes out of the window - great advice Neville - always stay at the launching pad never at the target.
I take my humour seriously - it is not something to be laughed at.

I was always taught to avoid the sharp end .. but when push comes to a shove, or where loved ones are concerned .. that approach kind of goes out of the window ..

the same principle applies where justice is concerned, or the under dog is being trodden on ...

I think in that kind of situation, it is hard not to grab hold, even if it is the pointy end offered ...

The trick is .. not being afraid to give a good shove if necessary .. oh\' n be prepared to drop and run like hell ... after thoroughly washing your hands in the appropriate strength disinfectant as stated in the manual of personal hygiene and stick management ....

Now then.. having got the stick thing off me chest .. I think it only fair to say that your artwork sir and indeed your sense of humour/fun are second to none ..

Cheers ,

Neville

Oh lol, good write and pic M.
Some one-way streets in town now.
A guy was going the wrong way on a street. Someone said \'It\'s one way\'.
He said \'But I am only going one way\'. The reply was \'But it\'s the wrong way!\'
Can\'t people read notices?! Grrr. lol. They give you a dirty look, though it\'s them who are going the wrong way.

just like some sounds, tastes, smells, sights and feelings of course, there are also some shapes that make one go aahhh .. your super little 575 in combination with your fine symbolic sketch are two such good examples .. Neville

Mystical listening in your wonderful art-work signifies music is magically alluring the mood of the image. Great stuff Michael.

Music is a stimulant: Energizing the nervous system, exciting the brain, raising the oxygen level, bringing reactions of many kinds to our minds and bodies.What a great drawing. Did you do all that without lifting the pen? - Phil A.

the layers here...!
so witty and full of diamond sharp sarcasm,
as genuinely British (a poem) as the all day breakfast sign in the pic,
btw don\'t forget that essential \'tonic\'...
another of your works that made me lol

Good write and pic M. lol.
My poem is \'Save gin; add more water!\' In my role here as the phantom tipple-waterer! They will shoot me for it. lol
But what a cad, a bounder - on a show a business person approved an idea just cos she liked gin!

A porky young man from Tobago
wrote poetry to make the day go
but when evening came
it was all children\'s games
for they stuffed him quite full with their play-doh
