JESUS SAVES

Jesus saves - for a rainy day

But Pharaoh now plays the stock market

He once lent some money to Moses, they say,

Who promptly pissed off in a basket.

As that's seventeen.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"When shall we, tea, meet again?" - the draft first line from Macbeth, before Shakespeare realised tea wouldn't become a nationally popular drink for another 40 years. That's how clever he was. 😉☕

June rain thumbs a lift

Hitching rides from weak sunbeams

Too shy to say no.
