    Delving into the depths in its brevity. These lines possess and regenerate power in the pondering thereof.

      Thank you Cryptic coming from you that means something. Appreciate the review.

      Well I do believe the proof is simply in the pudding if you know what I mean. And maybe a red face now and again one would hope lol this is a fun one for me 😁 my dear sorenbarret I can tell a liar a mile away, unfortunate from experience. A wonderful senryu provoking the reader to respond. Hopefully honestly.🤣 🌹

        Sins of commission, and sins of omission. How much pay is the 'commission'? Doh! heehee. Not THAT sort of commission, says Fido.
        Also - a bit of tongue twister:
        'We have done those things which we ought not to have done; and have left undone those things which we ought to have done'.
        Should we try a bit of prevari-wotsit?!

          Thanks Orchi a good quote indeed and very accurate in estimating the price of the commission. LOL I always wondered why such complicated words to replace simple easily understood ones.

        • orchidee

          I recall procrasti-wotsit - procrastination, but not a lot of prevarication! lol.

              Well, if omission is lying, I am in deep do do.

              • sorenbarrett

                All depends on who you ask. My wife always said anything said or not said was a lie, I was always in deep do do. Thanks so much for the read.

              • Doggerel Dave

                I'd give both an equal rating, Soren. Circumstances dictate outcome..........

                • sorenbarrett

                  Thanks Dave I'm sure you're right. Appreciate the read.
