There are pillar-boxes and pillars of the community,
While a pillar pugilist does not exist.
It seems certain things go hand-in-glove with other things,
Like the exchange of mundane information that mobile technology brings,
And nuisance calls when the telephone rings.
Other aspects of life are misleadingly named,
So, with hindsight, they can be blamed for creating confusion.
Self-delusion is just an illusion, something that won’t last, like an iconoclast.
Seeing through things is not the same as seeing them through.
Anymore than the expression: ‘through thick and thin,’
Refers to passing between stupid, skinny people.
The ‘thin end of the wedge’ suggests the worst part of something,
But, taken literally, it’s absurd—no one part of a wedge being worse than another.
It is said you can ‘hedge your bets,’ but you won’t find a bookie in any hedge.
To glean true meanings from ambiguous English you must patiently dredge,
And also to assess the validity of what others allege.
Posting is an activity of devious and diverse roots and routes - and not to be carelessly or willfully stamped on. Chasing the origins of the postage, it seems to have sprung from 'staging posts' in the delivery routes, well after when the idea of charging for a letter or packet was first put into practice ... alledged for you to dredge from the ditch beyond the hedge by Judy M-S - with love
