RAISE THE PINKY
When making sandwiches you must
from every slice remove the crust
prepare and serve with love and care
(they’re fit for Kings I do declare)
and so with dainty fingers eat
this nutritive postprandial treat
and in accompaniment serve up
an assam tea in a china cup
But if by chance you’re a common worker
stick to a diet of gobfuls of burger.

Good write and pic M.
Miss Berles having tea and cucumber sandwiches?
Cucumber mayonaise and tuna - Miss B's favourite
Do you remove the skin from the cucumber as well?
Another intriguing artwork Michael, I have shown my daughter these, she is also an artist, and she says that they remind her of works by Joan Miro.

Yes both Miro and Kandinsky - with a nod to the Black Swan studio - the link:

And yes one always removes the skin from the cucumber doesn't one.
Ooo! Yer know where yer can stuff yer sanny 'an I don't mean down yer gob..... Apart from that Sir, your work has a certain structure rhythm and rhyme which is pleasing...definitely an example of form which trumps content....
No trumps round here this morning Dave - cheers.
Trumpets, then? 🙂
firstly your artwork just shouts fun and had me tilting my head at an angle, like the fool I am, lol
wonderful play on caricature metaphors in your wording, its write's like yours that makes me look in horror when a wild pinkie strays away from the pack and my hand resembles a jazzy kettle..
a great read Michael
