Rank Order

Neville

Rank Order

 

Don’t think for one moment

  you might be second best ..

 

  That would be, ridiculous ..

 

Since you were by no means

  whatsoever, that high up the list ..

    Perfection in the way this has been executed. The last couplet goes for the jugular. Masterful in delivery Neville. What a put down for someone in cloud cuckoo land πŸ™‚

    • Neville



      I am smiling so BIG re your insight that I risk inadvertently slicing the top of me head off .. 😎

      • Cassie58

        For God’s sake don’t be that careless. It’s Christmas πŸ™‚

      • Cassie58

        The title by the way is a brilliant play on words.

        • Neville

          I guess that makes two of us Orchi, at least that way there's no let down. 😁

              The more the merrier, so up the ladder we climb. πŸ˜‰

              Someone just got put in their place. All need remember, the higher up you go the further you can fall.
              The longer the list the more to be disappointed.
              A lot to be said for this short of a poem. The message came in loud and clear. Why do people insist on being "Rank"ed? it's as if everything is a game. Enjoyed this one. - Phil A.

                I'm probably sure I'm with you on this Phil, there are far too many who think (feel & believe) anything other than their being number one is the end of the world .. or impossible .. am so glad you came by sir .. Neville

                Yeh - I'll slide in at the bottom and give certain needy folks above (not immediately above!) a leg up....they tell me its getting close to Christmas, so let's play at forgiveness and all that.......

                • Neville



                  Good morning Dave, if indeed that's true, then I'll give you a hand ..

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    'if indeed that's true'?? Getting a wee bit cynical in your...ah...maturity??

                  • Thomas W Case

                    This is superb, I love the attitude.

                    • Neville



                      Thanks Tom. Neville

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Such true words Neville but many idiots think they are.

                      • Neville



                        bang on goldie .. that's absolutely on target my friend .. Neville
