SOME ONE LINERS

Michael Edwards

 

 

SOME ONE LINERS

 

Muddy waters do not stain moonlight

 

A noose around the neck may tighten its hold.

 

Greed is the religion of envy.

 

He who rides a high horse may find it hard to dismount

    Some thoughtful words there Michael.

  • orchidee

    A fine write Michael. I may have to get off me 'hobby-horse' - waffling on about nothing in particular, and boring everyone with it! heehee.

    • Michael Edwards

      When you are on your hobby horse do you put on your armour?
      Did you ride it in 1066?
      Do you wear a mask?
      Do you sing 'High Ho Silver Away!'

      So many questions !!

      • orchidee

        Erm, yes to all that - and I was on a hobby-horse in 1066. I wondered why I didn't get far. just kept rocking back and forth! doh!

      • dusk arising

        He who rides a 'high' horse has lost his sense of smell.
        Muddy Waters sang his blues to the moonlight.
        No noose is good noose.
        Greed always gets me more gravy.

        Couldn't resist the above.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks for the comment and smile dusk . Glad you didn't resist.

          Michael,
          Great one liners!
          Some advice for “He who rides a high horse...”
          It’s advisable to learn how to dismount that high horse to get along in this world!

          Beautiful flowers!

          ~Laura~

                Don't enter a revolving door backwards - you won't know if you are coming or going.

                Thanks Brian

                Truth outs in these wise words Michael - - - great one-liners.

              • willyweed

                nice work Michael true is true. ww

              • orchidee

                Cooeeeeee - how's your evening going (or gone by now?!). It's me - on the sherry probably! lol.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Not good - two hours of soaps in the living room and I escaped to the study only to see Russia win - no not good - any sherry left over?

                  • orchidee

                    Not EastEnders surely? Mr Potato Head is in it, as the papers call him (Phil Mitchell). heehee.

                  • A.H. Browning

                    I very much enjoyed reading this.

                    Kindest Regards
