A MIRTH OF INSIGHTFUL MONOSTICHS

A MIRTH OF INSIGHTFUL MONOSTICHS

 

 

A tomato has many pips.

 

A prune unstoned can break a tooth.

 

A wet kiss is better than a dry kipper.

 

If you kiss in the rain expect to get wet.

 

Pilchards don’t swim in tins.

 

A dog’s bark doesn’t grow on trees.

    Some clever and humorous one liners there Michael.

    In the Methodist Church if the preacher does not arrive the Stewards of the Church are expected to take the Service. I was a Steward for ten years in our Church but luckily the Preachers always turned up. I have taken Services though in our Church and I even did a Service for the Sea Cadets at the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas.

        Miss Berles mirthy, or mardy (grumpy)?

      • Fay Slimm.

        Love the way you use words to make readers chuckle - the title gave me a smile and what follows is without doubt mirthful my friend- - - a great first read of my morning and am still giggling at your clever cartoon.

        • Michael Edwards

          Bless you Fay - I like the kipper one best - anything totally bonkers appeals and can have me in stitches - I'm the worlds worst giggler (which can be a tad embarrassing sometimes).

          Morning Uncle Mike ! We loved the Cartoon ! In Evangelical Circles the Elders rae always prepraed to give "A Word for the Lord" should the appointed Speaker not materialise !
          The mustaches demand a riposte !
          1. To market to market with my Uncle Jim
          Some numbskull thre a tamata at 'im
          Tamatas are soft while they're still in thier skin
          But this bu88er killed 'im it was ina TIN !
          memories of Crocidile Dundee ???
          2. Never leave a STONE unpruned !
          3. I never sleep with a Lady with dry skin !
          4. We only SING in the Rain ~ We kiss in the Sun !
          5. Milk now comes in TETRAPACKS not GLASS or PLASTIC to save the Planet
          6. Fido ~ Orchiis Dog ~ resembles His Master ~ His BARK is worse than his BITE (HOVEN)
          Thanks for sharing it sharpens the BRAIN !
          Blessings & Love ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

            Brill response - you'll end up as daft as me so do take care both.

            Gasp! Another evening already. Shall we duet? 'Some enchanted evening....''?! Bit old, originally from 1949 I see. Then again, I saw stuff from 1980's in an Antique Show.

            • Michael Edwards

              Who on earth is N Chanted? Some of the presenters on the Antiques road show are antiques.
              Hey - Just a thought - as we were around in 1066 are we worth a lot of money - should we be put in an auction? Do we have makers marks stamped on our bums?

              • orchidee

                Maybe Norma, or Nigel, Chanted. Yes, we're antiques. Did you ever go to an Antiques Show like I did, and didn't get home again, cos the dealers installed you as one of the exhibits?

                A word in your ear..... "drum".

              • Neville

                there is a merriment here and true.. more than worthy of my several guffaws.......Neville

                • Michael Edwards

                  A bit of madness - cheers Neville.
