Just been looking for my wife's tight slacks but they were found to be missing - love it Brian.
THANKS MICHAEL ~ Like Intellectual (true) Blondes ~ OXYMORONS are very elusive physically ! Yours BRIAN
I don't know much about political oxo-thingys!
You might not understand what is going on STEVE ~ Politicians rely on Senior Senility to enable them to practice duplicity ! DAVID CAMERON (remember Him ?} only launched the EU Referendum (COCK UP) to allow him to escape WESTMINSTER and become a £100k per night After Dinner Speaker in the USA ! Hence the oxymoronic Mantra ~ DAVID IS A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS ! BRIAN
Great job Brian. Affordable housing is an oxymoron anywhere you live! I have to confess I don't know what a "cock up" is! lol I liked the "civil servant" one, made me smile. Hugs-Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ Pleased you liked the CIVIL ~ SERVANT in the UK they are people who help to implement Government Policy NOT workers for the landed gentry ! COCK UP is not used in the USA because it is too obvious ! In OLD ENGLISH to COCK UP means to stand up and be counted if you have caused a mess ! HENCE A COCK UP means a catastrophe or a blunder. Politicians are always causing COCK UPS and it has nothing to do with the THE MAN from ARKANSAS in the cartoon ! Christian Cuddles ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@@@@@@@
Good ones Brian.
Real truth = more lies.
Thanks ANDY ~ trouble is politicians in particular us so much "Double Speak" (OXYMORONS) that it is only when we stop to think what these OM's actually mean that we realise we are being Dismayed by MAY ~ Trumped by TRUMP ~ Put on by PUTIN and Marbled by MERKEL etc ~ YoursBRIAN
Yet another poem both hilarious and sad. It is truly a despair the sad state of humanity, how did we let it become this way?
As always, a clever and good poem.
Sincerely, Azuranna
Thanks for your encouraging and reasoned reply ! Trouble is ANGEL we often vote without thinking WHO o WHAT we are voting for. TRUMPS attempts to make the USA Great again are all falling very short of PROMISE ! Hugs ~ BRIAN
Brian, I love oxymorons in general and and especially political and government ones. So many politicians leave themselves wide open. You did a great job!
Thanks FRED ~ I agree but they would be even funnier if they were not so TRUE ~ especially TRUMP DIPLOMACY ! Sorry to feature BILL & HILLARY in the cartoon ~ but I think one reason for the rejection of Hillary was that she seemed too "WASHINGTON DC" for some so they either didn't vote or felt DT would be a breath of FRESH AIR ~ So far it has been HOT AIR air and Rhetoric ONLY ! Yours BRIAN.
