He knew he’d got the instructions wrong
When he hit his head on the nail.
Sleeping dogs can’t even speak
So how can they ever lie?
It cannot go down like a lead balloon
For a lead balloon cannot go up.

More clever couplets Michael.
We'' they're quick to write - cheers Andy
Fine writes and pic Michael. Ahh, we should have thought of those things! I got a talking dog - Fido!
Should you let him lie Orchi?
Nope, not lie, but he gets enthusiastic, and keeps barking!
Oh well - what do you expect - give a dog a bad name !
Miss Berles got a dog?
Yes - she lives in Barking.
Michael,
Great couplets! 🤣🤣Love them! Keep them coming!
Of course, super artwork!
~Laura~
Thanks Laura - any Canadians among us will recognise that the drawing is in the style of Benjamin Chee Chee - a wonderful first nation artist sadly no longer with us.
I just read a bit of info about Benjamin Chee Chee! So sad that he died at such a young age by committing suicide!
I just ordered two of his Boxed Set Note Cards from the Whetung Ojibwa Centre!
Thank you for bringing his artwork to my attention! You are a sharer and a giver!😊
Now you really have made my day - not only looking him up but going on to order some note cards - you won't be disappointed.
THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ Three of lifes PARADOXES !
He liked Wine but could never fathom how
Wine containing 85% water could be termed DRY
My favorite is Number Three ~ because I believe in GRAVITY !
Love the GEESE ~ thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
So pleased you like them and the art - see my replies to Laura above.
I love these words of wisdom, Michael, especially the one about the lead balloon. I use that all the time. 🙂
Thanks for posting these, they're great.
I wish I had the time to write longer serious pieces but my art comes first. Anyway I'll post a longer work tomorrow.
For being clever enough to sleep in the cowshed,
He got a pat on the back!
🙂 🙂
