The greatest is Money

“Though I talk with the tongues of men and of angels,

And have not money,

I am as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy,

And understand all mysteries,

And all knowledge,

And though I have all faith,

So that I could remove mountains,

And have not money,

I am nothing…

And now abideth faith, hope and money,

These three, but the greatest of these is Money.



- George Orwell; Keep the Aspidistra flying; 1936

A Monkey with talk of angels,
telling stories as prophet
taking People as mountain block!
with no heart and soul
he make money!!

finally a "she" and not a "he"!
But she got money!!

A mystery of Monkey or Money?

Sharing,

Could you help me with some nice poems for me to post it, like what Bayi did with his life story? But must be nice; otherwise my readers will kill me....

mental jog

this is a spoof-of of a verse in the bible right? from the letter of st paul, something about the 3 things, faith, hope, love (or is it charity, hope, love) ending with 'these three, but the greatest of all these is love'.

Maverick,

I got an order to cook!
I search the fridge
Carrot, Radish, cabbage, Spinach, bean sprout, Tofu, few eggs and fish ball to go
Garlic, onion, ginger, lime, sugar, salt along.
Some dried mushroom, dried shrimp around.

How many dishes to cook?
The order said Food and no more!

Try the below if you see fine for more?
---------------
Carrot to slice + Lime + Sugar blended to one!
Serve cold!
---------------
Radish crushed + Sugar + Vinegar another go to the Fridge!
---------------
Cabbage to half
Shredded the top slice the other half.
A. With salad dressing on the top.
B. The slice with salt to dehydrate a bit
Then, hot water wash + Sugar + Vinegar to a jug.
Two go also the Fridge!
---------------------------
Mushroom soaked to slice
Spinach leave and stalk a few inches apart.
Tofu inch to slice
Hot pan with oil start with Ginger and the mushroom to fry

----------------------------
Anyone can go without flesh, lipsticks and perfumes (not Bayi's style) are welcome to try!
Bring your chopstick, fork and spoon, dishes and bowl!
A real Buffer even with chair and drinks of your own!
Tea be served with bowl to quench
in tiny cup for the scent!

Life with Food & Health to bring?
Home-made with no menu!
No order yet as Chef in arrear!

Lucia,

I believes so. George Orwell must have culled from the Bible.

Sharing,

I didn't know that you could create a poem from recipe... You're truly great poet.
