Magpie Tales#47

Another piece of food-for-thought from Willow this week . . .


Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?

OMG! What is it? Sheesh!
Gorblimey!  What a piece!
Crumbs! Cor! And whadya know!
Blimey!  Way to go!

Look at this another way . . .





There!  Are things clearer now?
Oh goodness gracious! Wow!
I'm beginning to see the light.
(It's not a pretty sight  . . .  )

Look from another angle . . .





Bits of wood all in a tangle.

It's a thing for holding things,
your wrist watch, flowers or bling.
Do those little knobs unscrew
to make a sort of shoe?

Let's turn it just once more . . .


                                                 
and set it on the floor.

Oh, now I see!  It's AWESOME
A symbolic writhing FOURSOME
with arms and legs akimbo,
man, maiden, gent and bimbo
in the style of Henry Moore!

    At first glance I thought they were specs, but then I put mine on and hey presto Henry Moore ... the foursome is an interesting interpretation, or is that just a tease?

    ...quite a challenge this month, for sure. But leave it to a man to see a foursome! Wonderfully witty, as usual.

    I have to remember to look at things upside down before coming to a conclusion! You never ever disappoint me! Great post!

    "man, maiden, gent, and bimbo" = hilarious, and screams to be the title of a book!

    I loved the way you turned the image every which way to give us a new perspective each time. Very clever magpie.

    Always more than one way to skin a cat or see the moon, but I like the last one best.

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
