THE EGOTIST

Michael Edwards

 

 

THE EGOTIST 

 

(1)

He is far more interested in himself

than ever he is in me. 

 

(2)

He frowned and then he scratched his head

 ‘I’m my own man’  he muttered

and then he went off to check his bread

to see which side it was buttered.

    Two very true verses Michael.

    Yet another one of your intriguingly interesting artworks.

    • Michael Edwards

      When I painted it this was way up intended. When framed I reversed it and prefer it that way,. Thanks Andy.

      Fine writes and pic M. Did Miss Berles' bread fall butter side up?

      • Michael Edwards

        It did and she got quite crusty about it.

          How's the evening? Boo hoo, only about 2 months and the nights draw in again!

          Ah - Clever assessment of those who think they are the cat's whiskers - - good read Mike........ love the snowy scene too.

          • Michael Edwards

            Bless you dear Fay - thanks as always for your encouragement.

            Love that picture. Both pieces today describe me so well. I'm giving out too many clues on here.

              If you've given them all away consider youself clueless

                OMG u mean giving away my humour has made me witless too?

                  It's a sad world without gigglifications.

                  (1) repeated a billion times every day
                  (2) our state of mind every day

                  Very interesting, I'm still scratching my head

                • Poetic Dan

                  Brilliantly done, each time I reread it there was a different train of thought then I found my self immersed with the picture!

                  Ha!
