RING RING

Michael Edwards

 

 

RING RING

 

‘Hello It’s me I’m here at the Hall’

‘Is there a problem? You don’t usually call’

‘Yes I’m sorry to say the lights are all out’

‘It’s the main fuse switch, it’s tripped no doubt’

‘But it’s too dark to find it and I’m stuck in the porch’

‘That’s easily resolved, you can use the torch’

‘Ah that will help, so where do I find it?’

‘On top of the fuse switch inside the gents toilet’

    Feeling whimsical Mr. E?

    • Michael Edwards

      Whimsical but quite true - thanks Mugsdaddy.

    • FredPeyer

      I just love unintentional funny stories and this one had me smiling all the way!

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks Fred - it was some meeting with more to come regarding Dorcas.

      • Goldfinch60

        Good fun write. True life can be hilarious.

      • orchidee

        Oh lol, good write M. You laughing at your own jokes? Well, we have to, in case no one else does! heehee.

        • Michael Edwards

          Me? Laugh at my own jokes? Of course I do.

        • Fay Slimm.

          Ha ha ha - -a brilliant last line to this rhymed account of a real life happening Michael - -great flow to the chosen metre - have read it twice already and laughed at the humour of that unexpected Ring .

            Thanks fay - this was only one item on the agenda - it certainly was a bizarre meeting - almost surreal although I'm sure no one else found it that way. If I had recorded it, it would make a good script for The Bishop of Dibley.

            RIGOR ~ RIGOR WHO ?

            Thanks for sharing ~ Alas there are an infinite number of RING RING & KNOCK KNOCK Jokes ~ you may have started a landslide ! BRIAN
            Please check my OXYMORONS ~ Thanks B.

              Is that Rigor Mortis?
              It's Rig, Mortis is coming later.

              Thanks for the smile Brian
