Never look for a worm in the apple of your eye. Langston Hughes
1. If you put all of your eggs in one basket...don't let anyone else carry it.
***
2. The accident report read...Mr. Hedley was texting to confirm his doctor's appointment when he hit the telephone pole.
***
3. When you were asked to name all the state capitols in the United States of America, you wrote...U.S.A.
***
4. If you finally get to the top...you may be too tired to do anything.
***
5. Your uncle was so paranoid ...he ran a background check on his minister.
***
6. Take delight in the simple things of life...like your job.
***
7. Tact is knowing the other person... may be just as mistaken as you.
***
8. You know when you have had enough of something...when you run out of space to put it.
***
9. There has never been anything like raising children...except maybe, bonded servitude.
***
10. Keep your sunny side up...but never forget to use sun tan lotion.

I like to write in verse light,
But all my lines are a sight.
I can't scan, I can't rhyme,
I just write all the time.

As always, Count Sneaky, pure enjoyment. I'm so glad that Sturdley Shinglehammer is still penning away :)
Hope all is well with Helen!
Does Sturdley Shinglehammer have a book? I'd love to read his collection, based on that one.
I think you should put together a book, Count. I would buy a copy for me, and some copies for my friends and family. :)
