Sleeping on the Job

Sleeping on the Job

 

those standing stones laying down

indeed look tired

surely they are shattered

    Yeh - that's proof Stonehenge has been around too long, hasn't it, old chap?? All that real estate - look what you could do with it - Mansions, tower blocks a teeny bit of grass, a couple of swings and slide in one corner...the possibilities are endless...
    Great word play, Neville.

      those stepped - over, pillar's
      of all, that we hope to be
      allowing us to build, steadily
      all, that we strive to achieve..
      a great shorty, my friend
      (if a write
      makes us think, twice
      its doing alright!)

              Sharp observation. If you don't want to be shattered, better to be awake.

              • Neville

                When erected they were very alive and majestic, and now even time has laid them down - shattered and battered

                Very enjoyable post

                • Neville



                  thank you my friend .. much appreciated sir πŸ™‚

                  Someone put them there for some reason. The suspense of not knowing why is reason enough for interest. Wonderful write N. ; )

                  • Neville



                    I wonder if we ever know for sure .. bless you for showing interest my friend πŸ™‚

                      Tiredness can be shown in many ways but those stones have ben standing for millennia and deserve their rest.
