UPS & DOWNS OF LIFE !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

WHEN I was a Kid

All the Adults told me to   **** UP !

Shut UP ~ Grow UP ~ Get UP

Stand UP ~ Sit UP ~ Cheer UP !

 

I knew UP was the opposite of DOWN

And I was also told / ordered to .....

Sit DOWN ~ Stand DOWN ~ Lie DOWN

We could also use UP in a negative way !

 

Give UP ~ Fed UP ~ What's UP ?

I am still learning new expressions

Of the UPS & DOWNS and INS & OUTS of LIFE

All I know that is ~ on balance .....

 

I would rather be UP than DOWN

I would rather be IN than OUT ~ AMEN !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

    The ups and downs of life are always with us but in spite of the downs the ups are wonderful so lets all go 'UP, UP AND AWAY!'

      A fine write Brian. You gone OUT? Will you 'get your coat' as they say?!
      I'm gonna sing Goldie's song now:' Up, up, and away!'
      Me singing will make anyone feel DOWN! lol.

        Thanks STEVE ~ When you are UP ~ you're UP and when you are DOWN ~ you're DOWN and when you are only HALF WAY UP ~ you're STEVE ! BRIAN

          Ohhh, half-way up - neither up nor down! I dunno if I'm coming or going, and especially this time of the morning, considering things half-way up, or down, a hill!

          Oh childhood and its perpetual rules and regulations! Takes years to get over it......... by the way, love the picture of the woman unimpressed by the ride!!! She's a scream!

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks LORNA and thanks for noticing my Aunty Nelly of Knotty Ash ! She was unimpressed by everything in LIFE & LOVE ~ My Uncle BOB said they never had any KIDS because he could never impress her ~ Yours BRIAN

              You might want to be in and up if you are about to fly to a holiday destination or down and out if you live at the top of a high rise . aw shake it all about - love the poem Brian - great fun.
