It has been a day of as dad would put it “a bit of this a bit of that, let the Seagull
nibble the fish tail, twist the Grimble Spin in the apple pie and glue the lip
on the tea caddy”. Mum often
replies to dad’s quirky sayings with IDIOT,
so does the dog and so does the manager at the Supermarket.
Mum and dad went there
today (the Supermarket) and dad said to the manager “you have been Balancing the can on the pot noodle, it will all end
in tiers. You’ll find your two for the price of one will spoil the cook and a kettle
watched will never sell. Dad said the manager was not paying attention because
he thought Lemmy from Motorhead was running off with frozen legs of lamb (again).
Silly manager he should know by now that it’s the dog and we all know the old
saying “Never the twix turn dog and frozen
legs of lamb if nay be bitten on own leg” so the manager apparently is
limping a bit now. Still the dog is
enjoying eating the frozen legs of lamb.
Anyway when I got back from
school I found a post it note from Miss Fionaski the Famous Russian Spy in the
kitchen. It was in code so I am not entirely sure what it meant but she said “there is a Wasp sitting in the room upstairs
Watch out” and the note also said on it “Harry is staring at the wall up top”, well we all know what
that means.
Anyway that’s your lot for
tonight as the Angel of the Norse will not make herself and the dag said “time marches on an empty stomach”. Although mum says Just get on with it Rob and don’t be an IDIOT. That hardly
has the same poetic quirky and slightly confused image does it, not like “the feather on the wind flies further than
the stone in the river although the stone may travel further given time”.
And you can’t argue with that.
OK, now you should do a book on 'sayings.'
ReplyDeleteI'd buy, especially if it were 2 for the price of 1...or in the bargain bin.
Honestly, I'm not cheap but there is a recession on.
