STRUCK

Michael Edwards

 

 

So Trump has been struck by Covid-19

and although I know I shouldn’t be seen

expressing opinions of unsuppressed bias

I must declare sympathy for the virus

      Oh dear the poor republican
      to stop me from cheering
      i'm doing all i can.

      But when he's gone i'll miss him, a good comedian always leaves a gap in entertainment.

      • Michael Edwards

        He sure is the funniest person on the TV at the moment - but for all the wrong reasons.

        We don't wish harm or misfortune on many people but.... we have our 'pet' dislikes.
        Yet sometimes we might have sympathy, then lose it again, when they recover.
        Pet dislikes? What am I doing disliking our piggies (similar to those in my pic)?

          Well ask yourself - would you truly be sorry if Hitler had contracted Covid ... he put children in cages too...... now I'll go wash my mouth with soap.

          • orchidee

            Well, yes, we don't lose any sleep over 'monsters' sufferings.

            • Michael Edwards

              It is certainly providing us with great entertainment - can't wait till the next chapter - win, lose, die?

              • Lorna

                That's because you live at a safe distance........ how in the world will this place ever straighten itself out...... just the money they're printing is like pre-war Germany........ we're gonna pay you bet your bippy......... my brother thinks he is the Anti Christ......... we're all going bonkers here. And even when he's gone, we have those Chainsaw Massacre people haunting the shadows........ SAVE ME - ha!

                • Michael Edwards

                  It's easy to be flippant but it really is of such concern for the whole world - and to compound it there's covid.

                  • Lorna

                    We all know underneath flippant is real concern........ no worries there! It's just everything else we have to worry about! But then you lot got through WWII - how did you DO that! So much to learn.

                    • orchidee

                      Well, I'm short of a sandwich for a picnic, as they say. Did you eat that one?!

                      • Lorna

                        Sorry Trump gets me ranting..........

                        • Michael Edwards

                          Forgive me Lorna but the expression I heard to describe Trump was a fart short of a collander full.

                          • Michael Edwards

                            Err - Trump that is!

                            • Lorna

                              Like cauliflower............ very apt! I haven't checked again today to see if he died yet.

                              • Michael Edwards

                                Rumour is his brain has died but he's still with us.

                                • Lorna

                                  I'm surprised they could find it.

                                  • orchidee

                                    All ya gotta worry about is if my singing has died - nope, never! lol.

                                    • Lorna

                                      I can hear you! It's pretty good!

                                    • Lorna

                                      Love Glenit today! Made me laugh - so clever........

                                      Michael,

                                      Politics aside,
                                      I love your Glenit cartoon.
                                      Delightful! 😄

                                      I’ll have to catch up on reading your other Glenit cartoon postings.

                                      Have a wonderful Sunday.

                                      Laura🌻

                                        You too Laura.

                                          Michael ,

                                          What happened to your comment about commissario Montalbano?

                                          • Michael Edwards

                                            Realised you were talking about Sardinia and not Sicily so it wasn't relevant and didn't have time to correct it so a quick delete - the cowards way out. Anyway memories of Noto still remain among the best I have of Italy.

                                            • Michael Edwards

                                              Should also mention Scicli where we sat in his boss's chair in the Town Hall which dubbed as the Police Station. Ah memories.
                                              Didn't think so much of the young Montelbano though.

                                              • Laura🌻

                                                Wow...
                                                My mom would’ve been envious. That was her favorite show.
                                                Of course Sicily has splendid beaches as well.
                                                I haven’t visited Noto; but I’ve had the pleasure of vacationing in North-western Sicily...near Cefalù.

                                                I wonder which episode you saw that was being filmed?

                                                • Michael Edwards

                                                  I'm afraid we never did find out but it was for the last series. We sat on some steps with coffee and arancinis watching them shoot ouside scenes.

                                                  We toured the entire island - exhausting but a great holiday. Love Sardinia as well by the way.

                                                  • Laura🌻

                                                    Yum yum...delicious arancini.

                                                    Buonanotte!

                                                      We'll show him the same sympathy and caring that he has shown to others.

                                                      Thanks for the chuckles, both. - Phil A.

                                                      GLENIT is wondrous as Usual, A match made in Heaven 🐝 BEE-You- tea full

                                                        Well I'll go strike a light - I'm near the end of the single frame Glenits - might try try some of the strip cartoons but not sire how they would work on this site.

                                                        a witty take, as always!
                                                        oh the irony that is life...

                                                        • Michael Edwards

                                                          Ironic wit - often the most biting and often the best.
