Mr Perpendicular
Mr Perpendicular was never that particular ..
When times were hard, he had been known
to sell his soul, for the price of a Cheeseburger ..

Did I meet him?! lol.
He's right up your street sir .......... Neville 🙂
....Or a solution .... maybe...perhaps...
With absolute certainty I'd say that sometimes it's just too bloody hard, Nev.
Get outa here, you're just an old softie you old dog you .. it's the way that its meant to be 🙂
I shall not be stirred - You know that's bullshit, Nev.....🙂
Meaningful though this this three-liner be Nev. I must confess Mr. P. with his hard times leaves my clueless mind speechless - -- must be too many ice cubes in my lunch-time rum - or summat......x hic x
Mr. P used to hold the silver award for being the second longest serving homeless male in & around central England & with whom I had a five year professional relationship with, which ended abruptly with his passing two days into the filming of a documentary on him with my daughter and just under a week after he was re-housed ............. Neville x
What a tragic finalé to a life of long homelessness - - - and how ironic so soon after Mr. P. had been housed --- drink and drugs can play havoc and though battled with by carers such as you Nev their effects seem to win in the end. A heart-aching read now I know a bit more .....................x
Did he by any chance teach geometry? Under paid, and under appreciated, I can see why he may sell his soul for a cheeseburger, I think.
He told me he had been an apprentice watchmaker before he discovered drink n drugs could more effectively reduce the voices he heard than anything I or any of my predecessors had ever prescribed .................. we actually became quite good friends 🙂
Responses to Fay and Bella gave the situation more context and satisfied me, I think...Nev
lol
I do hate it when a burger is served all lopsided and bent out of shape...
as in our meaning, being mistaken
for the lacking obvious
it takes all sorts really, how dare they assume
we cared enough to rhyme for a reason
sometimes, we do it because it feels good
and that's a heavenly excuse!
you'll now i'm right, by you inability
to prove me wrong
the end.
lol
(you've earned half your sainthood by putting up with me nonsense
so I'm claiming credit
aside my gratitude, dear friend)
🍻😎🤦♀️🤷♂️😌😁
a damned decent answer if ever there was .......... bless you bro, keep em coming & please accept my seasonal very best .. N
