A COUPLE MORE

Michael Edwards

 

 

Unkindness supressed

consigned to oblivion

tears of happiness.

-

Submit to nothing

obstinate resignation

hands clasped together.

    Two more good ones Michael.

    I have struggled to stay awake in some sermons.

    • Michael Edwards

      And some struggle to stay asleep lol
      Thanks Andy

    • orchidee

      Oh lol, yes, good ones again Michael. So we're all asleep? Congregation and the Vicar, not just the people during some sermons.

      • Michael Edwards

        And soup is served in the vestry.

        • orchidee

          I pass on the coffee sometimes - rather 'Bleuurrghhh!' from some huge pot - might be a witch's brew if it was not in church.

          THANKS UNCLE STEVE : FOR YOUR SUNDAY CHUCKLE

          1. A gentle answer (sotto voce) disembles wrath !

          2. I do that : a typical stubborn female stance. We shame you into submission: which is why we always wrestle in MUD !

          Love the CARTOON : It explains why in the Catholic tradition we always have two or more Priests serving on the Altar ! Priest have been known to sleep even die at the altar & in South America even to be assasinated (Requiem in Pace). To be forewarned is to be forearmed Please check COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW : Thanks :
          Yours though Odd Odes :
          ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

            Uncle Steve will be pleased with these lol 🙃🙃
            1) overcoming adversity
            2) she with the compressed lips

            I have heard of it happening - must be quite a hoot when it does - thanks Angela.

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              MEA CULPA : Uncle Mike : I keep getting my Uncles confused : as the Actress said to the Bishop ! Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

              Do you know 'She who must be obeyed'? Is it Miss Berles' real name?!

            • dusk arising

              LOL that last one made me think of a flock of christian sheep.

              • Michael Edwards

                One of my religious cartoons features a flock of sheep. To be posted on a screen near you soon. Thanks Dusk.

              • Suresh

                Hands clasped - is submission
                Most of the time we do things even when we don't want to, mostly bc of fear or greed.
                Insightful

              • Neville

                chuckleworthy indeed... N

              • MendedFences27

                Tears of happiness for the sleeping Vicar? Or is it the resignation? Maybe they are not related - or are they? Enjoyed both the cartoon and the poetry. You got me smiling. Thanks - Phil A.

                • Michael Edwards

                  They could be - thank you once again Phil.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Supressing unkindness is the way to gain happiness - love the first in particular Mike - - and as for that snoring vicar - in the middle of a service too - - shucks - he should be unfrocked.......... ha....... thanks for the smiles.

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Unfrocked and put in pyjamas - laughing at the thought - thank you dear Fay.

                  • orchidee

                    How's that evening? It was unbearable for me, until I changed telly channels. 'The Durrells' were on - arrgghhh. Fido barked continuously, out of boredom!
