Magpie Tales#111

Tess from Willow Manor gives us a picture of someone lost in thought. Or maybe merely lost, for her Magpie prompt this week.


Stretching Your Credulity, and the Limerick.

A keen poultry breeder called Beggs
wondered if he could incubate eggs.
He put this to the test
in a bald eagle's nest.
But the big bird said "Look, do
you think you're a cuckoo?
And I sure mean no harm
but you've got such thin arms!
Those spindly things
seem useless for wings.
And you took off your shoes -
which leads me to muse
that maybe you fly with your legs?"

  9. oh ho ho....once again a perfect dose of hilarity from the
    clever Dr Ftse!
    I actually could identify a bit from this as I once "hatched" 3 chickens in my bed....what? you say!
    True story as our hens were practicing "chickicide" as the poor things were hatching-so I rescued 3 eggs and went to bed=by the time I had read the paper- the cute little chicks were hatched. We then raised them in increasingly large cardboard boxes until they were big enough to fend for themselves.

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?
