Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain!

Some great sayings have we seen.

- Hey Bob better watch out Neville will get you he doesn't like these back to front thingies and I know 'cause I do it all the time

Maureen K Clifford wrote:Neville will get you he doesn't like these back to front thingies

Correction .....Neville wasn't talking about likes or dislikes. He made a suggestion on effective writing which he is repeating from the teachings of experienced bush poets.
Check out Ellis Campbell's Tips for Writing; no. 7. Inverted phrases.
It's on this web site.

Oh Neville don't get in a flap I wasn't taking offence at anything you said - never will Mate I'm just trying to stir Bob a bit, but it seems like fish he isn't biting. Must be worn out from all his po'ing with his Mates


Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Would have bitten if I was Home. out at the Wowan show all day then to the Village Festival to check out for tomorrows breakfast and watched around 30 ukuel ukali oh you know those little guitar thingies being played, Scarey.


I write what I like and I think sometimes inverted phrases fit the Bill or should I say BOB.

These are for you trebor because I know you appreciate doggie logic

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!'

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
-Roger Caras

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.
-Phil Pastoret

I wasn't in a flap Maureen. Men don't flap.

And as Bob has said, sometimes inverted phrases fit the piece, of course they do.


Some daily advice from Ezra Pound
" Poetry should be written at least as well as prose "

At twilight, nature is not without loveliness,
though perhaps its chief use is to illustrate quotations from the poets.
