Superb image, David, and so nicely rhymed in this thought provoking Monoku. It reminds me of Greta's "blah, blah, blah" criticisms of world leaders who provide little follow through. Best wishes. Brian

Heya Brian sometimes a little rhyme in the monoku can give more impact, this one has indeed the environment in mind, but could be used in many cautionary tale situations, thank you for stopping by, cheers David

Sometimes too much talk gets little done, at least the flies will be safe. Tom

Talking is good Tom most of the time, it’s the preaching without practice that seems to gets less done, just an observation mostly about politicians, cheers David
