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)

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

    A most peculiar pair indeed.

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

  8. 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.

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