......Lend Me A Fiver?
Loved this Dave, good ol' England eh! This was hillarious, and I loved the line 'no rabies' it had me doubled up! Wicked!

Thanks Debs
Glad you enjoyed, thought I'd have a go at something different.
Strangely enough, last line was going to be "Lend us a fiver" but I opted for the totally random "tumble dryer" instead!
Thanks for reading,
Dave
'Tumble Dryer'
I love that line aswell. Pls write more!

Ok, I need to know
Dave,
What the hell happened to bangers and mash and shepherds pie?

PS: Dave if you want a laugh read Gotta See it to Believe It.

Fair comment!
Truth is there was so many things I could think of, I had to stop somewhere. Maybe I'll do a part 2!!
Fair play to you for thinking of something, you're not even English! And so much for me trying to do a minimalist piece!
Thanks for commenting Pete,
Dave
great minimalism, though a bit long...
for that, huh!? Love your humor and your choices, Dave. No complaints. I laughed at the "No rabies" line, too.

Thanks Joyce
I'm happy you enjoyed this piece, think I might always be pants at minimalism!! Unless you include Haiku, I quite enjoy doing them!
Thanks for reading and commenting,
Dave
Simplistically elegant...
And intrinsically relevant.
It rolls and reverbs
With no need for verbs.
Many Thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed
Dave
