FLY TIPPING

Michael Edwards

 

 

‘No Fly Tipping’ said the notice up high

which made me scratch my head.

For in every restaurants wherever I’ve fed

I’ve never been served by a fly.

    Good fun write Michael, I too have never been served by a fly.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy- the thought of it makes me smile - well there's time yet.

      • Goldfinch60

        Yes there may be a time, some of the flies I see seem to be getting bigger!

      • sylviasearcher

        Somehow you made me think of an elephant scratching his head on his way to an evening out.

      • orchidee

        Oh lol, a good write Michael. I forgot - was you at Agincourt yesterday for the 1415 reunion?!

        • Michael Edwards

          I was there - went with St Crispin Even

          • orchidee

            Oh strange that you went with him - it was also St Crispian's Day. Don't know a lot about the fella meself.

            • Michael Edwards

              That's the fella - did I miss an 'A' out?

            • Fay Slimm.

              Your artistic mind works yet another amazing image with such few lines -
              great effalunt picture Mike along with a flying witty surprise - -ha ha .

              • Michael Edwards

                I've run out of serious thoughts so it'll be fun writes for a few days while I think up something more profound - thanks as always Fay.

              • Andrew Charles Forrest

                Thanks for todays smile AGAIN Michael... Long may this light hearted remission from seriousness continue... It inspired my poem today

                • Michael Edwards

                  It certainly will for a while - thanks Andrew.

                  THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ Notices can be confusing ! My DAD said there were notices saying ~

                  BILL STICKERS WILL BE PROSICUTED

                  His friend Bill Stickers complained to the POLICE and they replaced BS with BILL POSTERS a week later they had another complaint from MRS POSTERS ........... !

                  One which worked to advantage was
                  NOSMO KING who got free publicity in every Railway Carriage
                  Those were the DAYS ! I was on the ISLE of MAN Railway recently and every carriage had a NOSMO KING Message !

                  Love the ELEFUMP you dont see those in NEW ZEALAND

                  Blessings & Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

                    I'm a lover of public notices - FIRE DOOR KEEP CLOSED - how do you get out?

                  • orchidee

                    Woof, woof! Fido and I say Hi, and how's the evening going?!
                    Hmm yes, How do we get out if there's a fire? Why keep the fire exits clear if the door is kept closed?
                    Oh well, let's do what a manageress did - ignore fire practices and burn up if there really was a fire - daft as a brush!

                    • Michael Edwards

                      I'm pondering - in fact I'm in deep ponderloads - where did the accusations that brushes are daft come from?

                      I really need to know. Must ask Miss Berles- she'll know.

                    • Laura🌻

                      Michael,

                      That is funny!🤣🤣

                      I guess there are many “generous individuals” out there!

                      ~Laura~

                    • orchidee

                      Yes, why do they say Basil Brush is daft? I've met many talking foxes in my time. You too?!

                      • Michael Edwards

                        My wife drives a Volkswagen Fox - now 11 years old and only 10000 miles on the clock. It doesn't talk but it does go Brrrrrrrrrr a blot
