No2 From MORE OF THE DIFFERENT

 

There’s no ‘D’ in fridge or so I’ve heard said

and there’s sure ain’t one in mine

but I’ve got a packet of garden ‘P’s’

and a bottle of wine instead.

    The wine is much preferred to the D, love the picture and enjoyed the read

    • Michael Edwards

      And to the peas. šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

      Good writes M. lol. I sometimes write poems based on the 'Salms'.

    • sorenbarrett

      Don't get me started on spelling and word play a favorite topic. Loved this short Michael

      • Michael Edwards

        Yes - I also love the language - so lucky that English has such a wide and varied vocabulary.

      • Teddy.15

        LoL šŸ¤£ peas and wine now if you had fresh bread and olive oil I may just join you!

        • Michael Edwards

          Fresh bread, wine, olive oil, wine, balsamic vinegar, wine, and bruschetta (make this a lot and much prefer mine to any of the local restaurants - they just have no idea) plus wine of course.

          • Teddy.15

            Fresh sliced cherry tomatoes in good olive oil salt and a bit of fresh garlic fresh basil over some delicious grilled bread oh yes!

            • Michael Edwards

              Fresh basil is ideal but not always available here in the UK sticks so I grow basil mint which is an excellent alternative and I freeze it for the winter months. Yes juicy toms, good olive oil , a quality white wine vinegar, white pepper, salt, and, Italians might baulk at this but I also add a tiny pinch of sugar. As well as the topping I spoon some of the juice onto the toasted bread and eat immediately. The bread is lightly wiped with olive oil before being toasted on the griddle to gret stripes and then I rub it with a garlic clove. Gosh - really fancy it right now.

                That's some very dirty talk right there on the griddle indeed šŸ¤£ oh I suspect they will be some sort of delightful Limerick soon. ā¤ļø

                  Iā€™d love to have a coffee table book of your art and verse! šŸ™šŸ»šŸ•Š

                    Arr that's really kind of you - actually I often think about it but getting published is a costly risk - the same goes for calendars - looking into producing a 2026 calendar featuring paintings of local scenes.

                    • arqios

                      Yeah, the cost is indeed daunting.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      I hope it is not red wine Michael.

                      Ah, yes, chilled white in the fridge. Not bothered about the Dā€™s or the peas. A fun write Michael and another piece of artwork to be admired. Lovely.
