FOUR SHORTIES

FOUR SHORTIES

 

 

 

DAWN CHORUS

 

The song of love that once I knew

I hear again

I listen to

The chorus of the dawn.

 

 

 

THE EPICURE

 

She thinks she is an epicure

She really is a dork

It’s true she loves her curry

But she eats it with a fork.

 

 

 

RANK MAKES NO HALO

 

High above the man who has

sits the man who does.

 

 

 

THE WAY TO HIS HEART

 

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach

 - so where’s the point of entry?

I’m glad I’m not a woman

- if it’s where I think it might be!

    Four good ones there Michael.

    Will Orchi's Fido bark at the last one.

    • Michael Edwards

      Fido hasn't seen it yet - at the last count he went for a walk with Cilla Berles. lol

      Cheers Andy

    • orchidee

      A fine set of writes Michael. Fido and I here!
      No.1 - Well, it wasn't me singing then at dawn.
      No.3 - Well, it's the 'workers' who do all the work, yes?
      No.4 - Woof! Fido read that one! lol.

      • Michael Edwards

        Fido is such a wag ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

        • Michael Edwards

          I guest not - who's making the fairy cakes?

          • orchidee

            Miss 'Sugar' Plum - I forgot her first name. That's her nickname!

            • Michael Edwards

              Aw nutcrackers !!

              Actually it's Sylla as she keeps reminding me - not Cilla ! Derrrrr.

            • FineB

              • Fay Slimm.

                Ah - love the wit in number two but that third shortie ticked every box for me -- who indeed can sit high over he who has but the one who works !!! Great little collection Michael.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Thanks Fay - why not write a humerous piece yourself - a challenge ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    Ah - - thanks for the invite Michael - - I love the wit found in others' poetry but I am the world's worst writer of humour - have tried before and utterly failed so will not subject you to work up a smile at another of my efforts.

                  • orchidee

                    How's the evening going? You invited Miss Berles over for a social evening of dominoes?

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Tiddly winks - I flick mine - she flicks hers. Oh we do have fun..

                    • Andrew Charles Forrest

                      four gems Michael
                      Will you be revealing they way to his heart in any sequels?
                      I really can't imagine...
                      Bravo!

                      • Michael Edwards

                        A sequel - well maybe if I remember - I get carried away with ideas and forget all else - one of the joys of getting old is that you can blame it on your age ๐Ÿ™‚

                        • Andrew Charles Forrest

                          Sorry Michael
                          What were we talking about?
                          Ah old age I wouldn't know about tht

                          • Michael Edwards

                            What was I talking about? 'fraid I don't remember !!

                            • Andrew Charles Forrest

                              That's an observation...
                              Now if you could just remind me what I was observing?
                              That would be a great place to start
                              To the desk... Motehr where's my quill?

                              • Michael Edwards

                                Mother where's the desk?

                                • Andrew Charles Forrest

                                  Motther wears anightie most of the day Michael
                                  But she wWILL hise the quills!!
