CUTLETS errr COUPLETS (2)

 

Money talks,

it says: ‘Goodbye’

 

 

He’s such an idiot and there’s no solution

A waste of a million years evolution

 

 

Why on earth didn’t Noah exercise veto

And refuse asylum to the darn mosquito.

 

 

When you’re having sex time seems to fly

A minute quickly passes by.

 

 

Hard work never killed anyone, but perchance,

is it really ever worth taking the chance?

 

 

I’ve got all the cash I could ever wish for

As long as I die by half past four.

 

It takes a lifetime to learn the rules

And by then you’re too old to use the tools.

    I really enjoyed reading your poem, it's one of the best I've read. Great write.

    • Michael Edwards

      Cheers Adam - can't say the jokes are original but putting them into verse is - probably.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Ha - - my favourite of these couplets has to be the one about Noah and they darn mosquitos. - love your sense of humour dear Michael.

      • Michael Edwards

        It goes well alongside Adam's posting. Thanks dear Fay.

        Good fun write Michael.

        I like them all but the first one resonates especially if you are the bank of Mum and Dad, or now in our case the bank of Nanny and Grandy.

          S ame here although the role of taxi driver also (taxi)ranks highly.

        • orchidee

          How much of your money has said 'goodbye', and especially at this season?!

          • Michael Edwards

            Hasn't even said hello yet !!! 😢

            HI MICHAEL ~ Missed your musings this week ! Love cutlets & rhyming couplets (double winny !) Your septet
            of couplets put me in mind of some maxims:

            MONEY : Love of is ~ ROOT of all Evil
            NOAHS ARK : He forgot to take FISH
            Men have been looking for the ever since !
            EVOLUTION : Natures greatest myth
            SEX : Independent of time
            HARD WORK : Worth dying for
            CASH : 19th C substitute for plastic
            RULES : Made to be broken
            more than once !

            Yours as always BRIAN !

            • Michael Edwards
