Ohhhhh dear, Jimmy-me-lad, that is a sorry tale.

A sad story from a sad heart and so sarcastic really.

If God had treated us like that, we would have all been swept

away in the flood ....but he had mercy on the human race ....

and he still has!

You need to discover mercy!

Greetings to you most kindly :-)

Oh, Margret you really need to not take yourself so seriously. You

talk so much about joy and focus so much on telling people off.

You're not my teacher Margret, nor my mother. It's supposed to make

you laugh. It's satire not sarcasm. Oh well, what was that other

thing you said?

Yes I was giving you a poke. But I don't pretend to be spreading

joy. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes. Sometimes when I'm giving

someone a poke in the right direction it's often seen as just a

poke. Well I'm not clairvoyant either so hay ho. You do what you

can.

You're still not my teacher nor my mother. The point being I don't

see you as my teacher nor my mother. Not in this life anyway.

Well, it may not have a totally happy ending....but I would say is after the

style of the Brothers Grimm?? Or whoever it was that wrote Hansel and

Gretel and/or Little Red Ridinghood....

Of course, I personnally prefer " The Warm Fuzzy Tale " , but that's just me...

FYI - I know morel is a mushroom. Moral is an inner belief.

Wasn't the old lady gathering mushrooms? Whew! Next time there is a spat on

here, I will keep my nose out of it. Go for it, you too. I can delete!
