Magpie 102












When Geoffrey took his car apart
He found inside a beating heart,
And vowed that he would never drive
A vehicle that was still alive.

But Geoff's not one to make a fuss.
He now goes everywhere by bus.


(With thanks to Magpie Tales for the pirture)

    Wow! It's amazing what people see. I think Kandinsky would be pleased.

    Thanks for all those comments, eveyrone. I am NOT a poet (and have never pretended to be one) but can manage short and sily. On a good day.
