The Writing Is On The Wall.
Oh, I love reading graffiti! I’m talking about the illicit writing on walls and doors of public places; not talking about the modern commercialized painting of walls. To me that is another art form.I will not leave a town without a visit to the railway station, a few bus halts and public toilets to read the graffiti.
Many years ago I was on the red carpet for the graffiti on the back of the door in the ladies’ toilet. Unknown to me that was part of my responsibilities. When I investigated I found some of the filthiest writings I saw in my life. I had the door painted and had a sign put up. It said: PLEASE DO NOT WRITE ON THE DOORS AND WALLS.
When I inspected the place two weeks later I was very surprised to find an addition my my poster.
It read: DO YOU EXPECT US TO TYPE ON IT.
I was instantly hooked to graffiti.
Do you know some funny writings on the wall?
And relax now. It is Friday.

When I was a child paperback books had the same stigma as graffiti today. We were not allowed to read paperback books. Don't ask me why. And look at it now. Almost every publication is paperback.
Yes it is funny. When my 2 brothers were still alive we differed all the time, but now that they are dead I miss them all the time.
Got to admit on the underground trains they have poet corners. There are some masters pieces to read
Yes, I guess e-readers will still put an already ailing printing trade out of business.
Mainly because I cannot dog-ear an E-reader.
But jokes aside. I read much easier on a book. I battle to concentrate when reading long articles on line.
But the writing is on the wall.
You mean Peaches & Cream? Then what does it say?
Same thing, darling.
but I personally prefer Hans Anderson or the Grimm Brothers.
Ok, then I bow to your greater wisdom.
you cannot argue with a woman. Period.
thats all we want.
stay well and safe!
This time I cannot argue; you're right. I said it all.
See! Some graffiti can make sense. What more can we ask for.
Take care my friend.
Thanks Cat, you too, enjoy your weekend!
they should have put them to work in Berlin before the wall came down.
I have seen some really stunning wall paintings.
A few of our suburban trains were done like that too for a few months as part of a advertising campaign.
