I sometimes read advertisements to keep from getting bored they all offer, blandishments so that interest is ensured Once I read instructions on my new pram, that was my pride it said do not fold this up while the baby is inside. The other night while washing my hair, before my bed I noticed that the label said for hair, disint'rested So I said unto my hair, said I do you not care, don't make me cry my hair it did not answer, so I guess it must be true my hair must be disint'rested but it could be deaf, dumb too The remedy in my hand ready now to pour that would make my hair stand up would make it shout encore. Then I reached for the conditioner and got a shock, quite rude for I could only use it on some hair with attitude.

Thanks Sudhir. As always Fun when you say it is. Thanks Sandra my shampoo and conditioner really did say that. I just made up the poem around it.

Nan.Thanks, I often have conversations with myself. It's when they start to leak out, I worry. Thanks for the stimulating challenge, I think I may have sneaked in two given the time differential an all. Doreen, Thanks. PDV. Always like your work so the compliment is appreciated. Mark. Glad I made you smile. Paula. See I told you have an Aussie humor. And I nearly did drown when I read the labels, know I swallowed at least 7 litres of water or at least it felt like that much. LM. Nice? Nice! NICE! Hmmmph. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
