DEFINITIONS (4)

 

SELFISH

Lacking consideration

For a selfish nation.

 

ULTIMATUM

The last demand in political sessions

before resorting to concessions.

 

ROPE

When placed around the miscreants head

to remain all his life until he is dead.

 

MYTHOLOGY

The heroes and gods of the ancient departed

unlike the truths much later invented.

 

MOUTH

In man the entrance to his soul

In woman the exit for vitriol.

 

NOVEL

Each novel is without a doubt

A shorter novel padded out.

    Mythology is very true.

    Good writes and pic Michael. Let's pad out. Let's say or write 20 words when 5 will do. Aww, why they say 'No change there then?' lol.

    • Michael Edwards

        A giggle at some of this well written play on definitions has just made my day - - love most the one about novels.

        • Michael Edwards

          I was expecting some come-back on the mouth one - thanks Fay.

        • Neville

          An excellent set & extremely well thought through.... Neville

          I can see that a conversation with you could be laced with hidden meanings.
          I particularly liked Mythology.


          • Michael Edwards

            I often wonder what I mean
            where I'm going, where I've been
            I always seem to be at sea
            it's never easy being me.

            "Ultimatum" is a fact. On "Novel" I have a question, "Has every possible story been written."
            Real thought provokers today. Enjoyed them very much. - Phil A.

                A havenā€™t been in the mood!
                Too much on my ā€œplateā€ at the moment! I try to read and comment as often as I can! Thank you for asking!
