HOW ANNOYING IS THAT?

Michael Edwards

 

 

HOW  ANNOYING IS THAT?

 

Awesome –  really?  – how can you tell?

I’m  good –  maybe  -  but I asked if you’re  well!

 

This moment in time –   surely ‘now’ will suffice.

                          Same old, same old –same old what and why twice?       

 

  Talk me through it – through where?

I was sat –  so tell who sat you there? 

 

He’s 6 foot tall – no not at all - he’s 6 feet tall from his toes to his hair..

Oh My God – so which one – there’s 3000 out there.

 

Listen up – up where? Is it out of view?

Know what I mean? – yes I do – do you?

 

Any time soon – so you really mean ‘soon’ I’m proposing

I’m going to go – coming to come, coming to go or are you  just going.

 

Take in a film – take it in where?

It is what it is – well it ain’t something else I declare.

  • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

    Some expressions are annoying .
    I liked reading this 🙂

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks yellowrose - I'm afraid I'm a bit of a pedant but it's probably a losing battle.

    • orchidee

      Good write and painting M.
      Miss Berles still alive?
      'Do you know who I am? - No, so you can't be anyone of any importance'.

      • Michael Edwards

        I know you S - Miss B is alive and well and breeding syllables for the new season - they will be available soon.

      • Doggerel Dave

        Double thumbs up from me, Michael.
        You do that...let it out... it's all good! 🙂

        • Michael Edwards

          Yus mate, I feel better for that. Take care of those thumbs.

        • dusk arising

          Yus, and 'blow me' if i 'don't not' agree with you '110%' which is just what my neighbour 'turned around and said to me'.
          Annoying aren't they.

          • Michael Edwards

            One of my Dad's phrases was 'Blow Me'. Different connotations these days or so I'm told - I wouldn't know.
            Yup - so very annoying.

          • Fay Slimm.

            Loud applause for wording some of my pet rants against the abuse and misuse of our beautiful language - good to see you back again Mike and as for that artwork well ---
            - - -- another great Wow.

            • Michael Edwards

              Bless you Fay - I rant all the time. Just watched Garden Rescue and counted seven incorrect uses of the word 'sat' - I'm becoming obsessed I'm afraid.

            • SureshG

              I’m sorry, for what? I wasn’t the cause, but your words did make me think - how odd.

            • Goldfinch60

              So I wanted to answer. So I thought of some words. So I put them down, you know, put them out to you. So now I have answered. So its alright now, in this moment in time.

              So Andy

            • myself and me

              I am glad to know you are good. I am well too. I love and enjoy your rant. Really.

            • L. B. Mek

              must have missed this when you first posted
              I remember the great series you had last year about idioms,
              might go back and read a few
              to create some space
              in my own tolerance tank
              and yeah, I mean that: 'LITERALLY'... lol
              thanks for the fun read Mike
              glad all is well
