Another thing I can't find!

orchidee

Doh! Another thing I can't find'!

I mean 'This moment in time'

Co when it gets here

It seems to be 'The next moment'

And how long - or short - is a 'moment'?

 

We must know these things?

And do we spend those moments in time

Saying irritating words or phrases?

Such as 'Basically' or 'Now then'

Do they mean 'Now' or 'Then'? (heehee)

 

Or - 'Who ate all the pies?'

(It was me, I told ya!)

 

This may not relate to the above, but - 

Write a bit more modern 'Psalm, Orchi', says Fido

it won't hurt ya

Let ya hair down a bit

Use words like Hurrah, Yippee, Woohoo!

Though ya think they're a bit 'common'

 

Or if too common for ya

Use phrase like Tally Ho, Jolly Hockey Sticks

And say things like - How Spiffing, How Jolly!

It's very British, ya know!

LOL

        Most welcome Orchi

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Orchi, this is delightful and unhinged, making it even more delightful! You play with time, language, and pie. By the way, when I read your title, I thought you were going to say you lost Popeye's fishing rod...for which I would have congratulated you. 🤣 This made me laugh, my friend.

        • orchidee

          Thank you T. lol. Argh! No, if Popeye's lost his fishing rod, he will spend more time on....... don't answer that! lol.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            His other "fishing"...never mind. LOL!

            • orchidee

              Much more of this and we'll swoon! lol.
