POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Each word he spoke was carefully checked
in a quest to ensure it was socially correct.
But hell and damnation
he lost concentration
when a lapse in judgement (which is something he’d dreaded)
led to him calling his boss pig-headed,
and it came to pass that he fell from grace
for a racist slur on a farmyard race.

I bet some cow turned him in. He was only acting the goat. He's too chicken to have meant it.
I'm not trying to duck the issue but he shouldn't be hounded for it.
I bet she was the elephant in the room for letting the cat out of the bag. A real one-trick pony if you ask me.I bet she tried to weasel out of it - she should have held her horses.
😜😜 lol
A fine write and pic Michael. Miss Berles gave me hell and damnation. I added an extra syllable by mistake.
Where did you find it? I think it may have been mine.
I found it at brekkie time! Are there hundreds in the Berles family?
Political correctness is an absolute pain sometimes, after all when ever have politicians been correct.
Don't mention politicians Andy. At the moment I simply don't know who I would vote for - they are all totally incompetent and unworthy of office. I would probably for the first time in my life not vote and that goes against all my previous convictions.
must have been an ass, or a snake in the grass... pc is a load of testicles ... N
If you aint got the balls you can't make a cock up. As I said in another posting somewhere!
perfectly put...
By the way I've got about another 4 of the penguin designs to go - if anyone has any ideas for another one please let me - I'm running out of ideas.
Nesting penguins (as in Russian "nesting" dolls?) - all tumbled down except the last one looking forlornly at the empty ones lying around him?
Set of little penguins just taught how to swim by mother off and away - only one left behind waving and drowning.
Great ideas - I'll see what I can come up. For this series I need to stick to three family members - your first one sounds good - just had a thought about the little one skipping, another on stilts, doing a handstand, still thinking .
Ha ha - -another clever poetic angle you easily give to that racist-word issue - - - must read this one again my friend - into my faves it goes.
Aw thanks Fay - I'm flattered.
Thanks UNCLE MICHAEL ~ very droll ! Love the BYRDS ! Love in the MUSE ~ Brian & Angela ~ Please check "Love me love my Pussycat !" ~ Thanks !
Thanks - as above any ideas for future penguin designs will be much appreciated - the paintings and cards I produce from them are always popular.
Michael,
How dare he...
“calling his boss pigheaded”!
So disrespectful!
Doesn’t he know we’re celebrating the year of the Pig?🐷
Love your penguins!
I’ll think about your request for future penguin designs.

Calling your boss pig-headed - I know - it beggars belief. Didn't realise it's the year of the pig - how apposite.
I am doing a workshop in 10 days time featuring cartoons and will be using the penguins as the main theme. Oh stackloads of joyfulness.
Oh yes...
joy joy joy!

Cooeee, how's the evening? Thoughts of penguins?! Erm pictures of chocolate bars as one idea? I'm a fat lot of help. Why don't I go back to sleep?! heehee.
Pen Guins has a good record out to help you sleep. Have you got a penguin suit ?
Hee hee I will listen to Miss Guins then!
In your suit?
Oh yes! heehee. You know Old Mr Yeavering - from my hymn-poem? How old is he?
This is great! And SOOOOOO relatable!
Thanks Alex.
