THE FANCY TALKING MAN

They were standing in front of a cliff

wanting so badly to be on the other side. 

 

Along comes The Fancy Talking Man

 

he tells them...

it will be fun

and excitiing 

if they simply

 

Jump

 

and so they do

 

not knowing 

had they been patient

taken some time

walked a little futher

 

A beautiful bridge

was just a head

to take them to the other side

 

safely

 

do they survive the fall?

did it make them stronger?

 

They clearly got injured

 

will their wounds heal?

will they have scars?

will they walk with a limp?

 

Only time will tell. 

 

But The Fancy Talking Man

says they will be stronger

 

Yet

 

he has several scars 

and walks with a limp.

 

Careful who you listen to

when standing in front of a cliff.

Hello Lynn, no I don't live there...but I've been there on holiday twice.
I'm as "Engl-ish" as they come, (whatever that means?) but like many folk in certain parts of England, I'm of "Iri-sh" Catholic background...and I'm trying to teach myself Irish...let's just say it's a "work in progress".😊
