bright sparks


show me a zero carbon footprint ~ and i'll point out its shoeless slave

but first we'll need a generator ~ to shed light on his pitch black cave

said an oil tycoon to the cobbler ~ who turns on the lathe for a shave

You got that right, David. I’m the guy who tests matches. I test them… they work… and then they never work again! Why is this relevant? Because Mr F**king Miliband, would never get the gag! The problem with irony is that it’s so dammed ironic!

Haha good for you Terry, Mr F**king Miliband just rigs the matches, to try keep people in the dark about his own narrative and agenda, how ironic is that, cheers David

End rhyming Monoku... and they make sense, too. LOL David. The first two are genius, but the third one is off the charts clever. Footprint, fingerprint... there's no use trying to erase any mark of human existence, especially those of the most offensive.

I know exactly what you mean. Although not in Monoku form, I just did it with a few things that make me say, "hmmm"

It’s funny how these Monoku’s can turn into a series if we just let them run, I was actually going to stop after 2 but upon further appraisal, the third one conjured up itself, thanks so much Lin, glad you enjoyed! Cheers David
