Some Words are not Just Words

Neville

Some Words are not Just Words

 

There are some words

that should be bound

in the very finest leather

 

Note pads, shirt cuffs,

serviettes and beer mats

are not fit for purpose

 

Yes, some words should

be bound in leather ..

and always read out loud

 

While others get caught

and just stick like a

proverbial bone in the throat

      Looks like Ive lost last week again..i dunno where ive put it either....

      There are words and there are words.... and theres that learning stuff too..... when youve found those kind of words that get stuck in the throat..... well .. next time around youll be reluctant to let them get as far as the throat....

      But i never learn.... so i gave up!

              Some words stand alone but other words need other words and ... not sure where I'm going with this - run out of words.

                Let's start with your words! And don't you love that on a wet and windy Saturday morning you don't have to go anywhere if you don't want to! Tea, toast and lovely jam.......

                • Neville

                  Ha well , I love 💕 you, however beautiful gets caught in the throat, not out of malice, but of fear!
                  But harsh words are best swallowed in silence , Amen

                  • Neville



                    such beautiful words tho and certainly most.. if not all would wish to hear them spoken in a gentle sigh and followed by their name .. bless you my dear R B .... and truly true tooly : )
