SOUND ADVICE

Michael Edwards

 

 

SOUND ADVICE

 

Mary had a little lamb

she also had some sprouts

she shared her meal with brother Sam

when he came home from scouts.

 

The meat got stuck in Mary’s teeth

she used a small tooth pick

and put the pickings underneath

her skirt and got a  kick.

 

It came from brother Samuel

who thought it wasn’t nice

and so on him it thus befell

to give her sound advice:

 

‘If food gets stuck its best to leave

the table straight away

where bits of food you can retrieve

 avoiding fuss and tooth decay’.

        We've been on a salvage quest looking for syllables and words - see Andy's poem today.

        • orchidee

          You found them missing syllables and words, you and Andy?! Is there a shortage of them?

          • Michael Edwards

            Not any more,

            • orchidee

              How much are they? Do we buy them in bulk - sets of 50, 100, etc?!

              Michael for some reason that artwork
              had my eyes getting a little teary
              an impactful piece
              and a wonderfully quirky write
              but just seeing your name
              on my screen has made my day
              thank you!

                Aw I'm touched - just hope I can maintain an output now that I've stepped back into the frame.

                  Ive been away for quite a while and just getting back into writing - dont have time for the srious stuff I've written in the past but short and humerous pieces fill the gap. Thabnks for stepping by.

                  • LIZ

                    It's ok! It was nice to start the morning this way! I look forward to reading more!

                    Great to see that you are writing more again.
                    I must clean my teeth! LOL

                    Andy
