Magpie 101



The sheep is stuffed, and rather square,
The woman, slim, asleep and bare.
They make a most peculiar pair.
I've no idea why they are there.


(With thanks to Magie Tales for the photo)

    That was exactly my first take too...woman on a sheep.

    A most peculiar pair indeed.

    Good one, Frances! Witty as always.

    What an odd picture! Your poem pretty much sums up my reaction to the image.

    It's art, isn't it?
    I wonder how long she needed to stay like that and if the goosebumps are part of the package or an optional extra.

    I know, it is a weird position that she's in. I tried to have fun with it though. Nice take on the prompt. :)

    Thanks, everyone. Hardly an heroic effort, but the photo invited a degree of levity! (I'd love to know who/what it was originally...?)
