A GNATS CHUFF
A pinch is a drop in a snippet
And a tad’s a wee dram of a dash
A smidgeon’s no more than a dollop
All lost without trace of a scrap.

It's like old times - happy days, Michael.
Like your minimalist style, different again from your previous pins here.
Oh and not forgetting your mind bending nonsense....
I hope to see more.
Still doing watercolours etc but just been working on these for a shop window display. Yes good to be posting again.
Good write M. Seen Miss Berles about?!
Miss Berles has been a tad poorly with missing sylable syndrome but alls well again. She now has them aplenty. Hiope you're well.
OK thanks M. Miss Berles wants to know - why does it say 'chough' on the 'Notifications' list, and 'chuff' in your poem here?
Good to have you back my friend .. hope you shall linger .. Neville
Yes hopefully I'll get back into the habit - been a difficult couple of years but getting back on track again.
I do understand my friend and shall keep my fingers well & truly crossed that things start to improve real soon .. Neville
I prefer a chug-a-lug
Don't they come in drams?
Good point, I am not a scotch drinker.
I take it back!
Good to see your works again Michael, both writing and art.

Cheers Andy
Well that's a fun tongue twister dear Mr Edwards 🌹 and strangely I'm coughing now. 🤣
Thanks Teddy - hope the cough goes away - keep smiling.
Love these old measures Stones, furlongs, gill and cubit for a few. A most fun read well composed
Thanks S - I love the whimsical
Nicely done. This one made me smile. There's a phase I hear some of my Welsh friends use, 'I will do it now in a minute.' That too makes me smile. 🙂
Reminds me of one my wife used to use: It's coming down to rain.
Welcome back. Hope all is well. Made me chuckle. (A chuckle's a whisper of a laugh). Your artwork looks modernistic. A new medium for you?
Enjoyed your little ditty. - Phil A.
Hi MF - All is well and you? As for the art not so much a new medium but a new technique which I really enjoying - got several exhibitions coming up so need a few and working on them at the moment.
Such economy of words plays well here. Good work.
Thanks Dan - great fun to write.
