I'm sure God was mightily amused. A question my teachers proposed: Does God take you as seriously as you take God?

Goodness Ciel be careful what you say Uncle Albert is a bit crabby. Now look at this little Adnohr is bossing poor Chumpet around. Well some are Ciel, but then I have not lived an exciting mortal life like some have. Well I did tell a lie to God once.

Re: Adnohr
I don't know Adnohr I am paying him to dig the ground over. I might tell him to plant his own flowers there. Well I not know if your name was copy-write but little Adnohr is playing with Chumpet she seems quite at home.

Re: Naut
I was talking to a woman on the till in the Supermarket, I happened to mention that it was better to work than be on benefits. She said she was not much better off. She was not there the following week. Something is wrong somewhere.

I have two thoughts about the benefits cap: First is that those who do not work should not expect the privilleges of those that do - if you want to be able to afford a 5 bedroom flat in Kensington then work for it, otherwise live somewhere cheaper. Second is that no matter what they say, that money does not belong to the government, it is ours, put away for rainy days when we most need it not donated so they can give it to rich people or subsidise their lunches.
As ever your poetic quirkiness makes me smile.

With that kind of dough being doled out to people who do zip all, no wonder Britain is being overrun by people from all over - I might even join them...And I too have had close contacts with balloons on occasion...

I don't know where all the money comes from, but I know where the old money goes. My uncle worked for many years at Federal Reserve Bank making sure it was all burned, and then later shredded. They used to give little bags of shredded money to school children who toured the FRB.

Oh that flower is totally awesome. The pink rose on the other just previous post is great too. I am astounded by your flowers. Yes i read the whole post but I am astounded by these lovely flowers every one you post the next is better. I don't know what a pound is to a dollar. I haven't any idea how much money that is. Be blessed friend i am taking it easy for a few days.

Wow! And I thought the collection and appropriation of benefits were tough and stringent over here! And thanks for letting me know that the flower pic is out of focus! For a second I thought I was going to have to move my eye check-up appointment up a month or so . . .

And are you planning to doloow up on Archie suggestion, to plant more flowers? This one is very pretty too. If the Aliens do not have only science in their world, but also enjoy art, they would have been quite comfortable exchanging ideas with you, CCT, as long as you can get your mind open for them. As for Ciel's comment...you have an Adnohr...will that do?

That flower looks like a painting! I love the color!
And the poem... I always wonder which are autobiographical. You need a third friend, one named Albert. Or have you got one of those already? How about an Arnold?
