COMING ROUND THE BEND
with
Denis
Glover
" PLEASE behave like a gentleman even if you are at home." JE makes & lot of nfoney as a land agent. The smell of the earth is in his nostrils, provided the earth is for sale. He deprecates war, because the H-bomb is likely to ruin real estate values. MEAT is usually ' over-cooked, with | all the love in the world. Or is it that men are usually over-late to eat it? "THOSE who follow sport too closely are letting others run their lives for | them. | LIKE the man who never knows the time. He says he is hurrying towards the grave without an expensive wristwatch to tell him how fast. | EAL crooks are quickly found out. But people with good intentions can go on forever doihg damage with a smile. | Now with everything in the world so crazy, so worrying, who on earth would go into a shop and buy ‘puzzles? | ABBIT shooting: when rabbits can shoot back it will be a man’s sport. O many people have talked to me for their own good. HAVE to thank my typewriter: it wrote "A fool and his money are soon partied." | THOUGHT he spoke brilliantly, and cannot forgive the woman who said, disloyally, "He uses more words than a woman making a cup of tea." YING is a serious matter: it takes a lifetime to get round to it, T’S a mercy writers of epigrams aren’t required to take out a second-hand dealer's licence. /
