Cloud illusions

 

 “Every cloud has a silver lining” said the optimist to the pessimist.

“Yer but what about the big gray bit in the middle” said the pessimist?

 

 

Then the pragmatist interjected and said,

“well maybe it’s all just ‘cloud illusions anyway!’”

 

 

 

And so the three of them;

 

 

 

 

 

the optimist

 

 

 

 

 

the pessimist and the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pragmatist

 

 

 

 

talked and talked, and talked and talked late into the night over some warm wine, some cigars and some hearty laughter.

 

Yer right … pull the other one!!!
