SHORTLIES (1)

Michael Edwards

 

 

When bladder, like the sea, is full

and gravity exerts its pull,

what pleasure when relief’s applied,

thank goodness for the ebbing  tide.

    Ohh, from a hymn 'Immortal love, forever full' there is a line 'A never ebbing tide'. Erm, no relation to this theme. Oops!
    You know Bradder (Bradley) Berles?!

    When old age creeps up on us, inevitably
    and those thundering steps - to salvage
    what pride we have left
    become a nightly routine,
    I'll remember your last line:
    'thank goodness for the ebbing tide'...
    lol, good write Michael, those menacing twisters in your picture are a fitting image of the pressure forces depicted in your write
