IF YOU CAN’T TELL

Michael Edwards

 

 

IF YOU CAN’T TELL

 

 

 

If you can’t tell what you don’t know

then when it’s time to say farewell

he’ll call on you and ring your bell

and as he leaves he’ll say hello.

 

But if you think he’s in disguise

it well could be that this poor guy’s

gone and shrunk and now’s so small

he might as well not be at all.

    He was here last week tomorrow wearing garish brilliant shades of grey as he soaked me in arid silent verbosity. Monochrome rainbows brightly disappeared as the news was unmade and we all rejoiced at the possibilty of history.

      So pleased to unlearn from the garrulity of your erudite disquisition dear friend.

      my inability to read these words without smiling is a measure of just how good they are ... n truly ..

    • Fay Slimm.

      An intriguing look at the sphere's of linguistic double-speak - a super write Mike and oh what a picture - methinks I could spot an eye looking at me in that big white cloud.

      Good write and pic M. Using 20 words when 5 will do - lavishly, generously, with abandon? Does Miss Berles count the syllables of these linguistics? Is there a Sale on of them?!

      Intriguing words Michael, do we really know anything at all?
