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’.

My dear Michael, lol as ever so very funny and this early in the morning before breakfast. Love the paintings. Biggest of hugs to you 🤗
Good to be posting again and hugs to you too xx
Good write M. lol. You been on holiday with Miss Berles?
We've been on a salvage quest looking for syllables and words - see Andy's poem today.
You found them missing syllables and words, you and Andy?! Is there a shortage of them?

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.
Thank you for the laugh...this early. 😆
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.
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
