I’m dead up.
Seriously, I’m counted out.
No use turning around the hot porridge
or finding out the wheel:
when the cat is out of the house, the mice dance on the table.
As the clock ticks at home, it ticks nowhere.
So keep good in the holes: don’t mob with the tap open.
A good neighbour is better than a far away friend.
East west, home best.
Double Dutch 🙂

Reblog button?

I’m afraid there’s no reblog button in a page. I guess you’ll have to pinback.

You turn reblog on/off in your administrative settings. It should be located in the same general area as the sharing buttons.

It seems in my admin settings reblogs only apply for posts, not for pages.

Ah! Did not realize it was a PAGE. OK. I understand now why reblog is not possible. Hmm.

Ha! Such fun! I’m especially intrigued by this one:
“don’t mob with the tap open”
So many applications! I’m picturing both a drunken group in a bar that hasn’t yet paid the bill, and the mad grouping of words whilst I still have a million research tabs open on my laptop. Seems sound advice in both instances. 😉

Most of these were not familiar to me, but it’s easy to grasp the idea you’ve crafted a very clever poem of adages and sayings. Well done!

Happy Easter in advance!
