Lamb for lunch
Mutton to munch
Baa-Baa at brunch
Carpals to crunch
Partake of the punch
Blessings a bunch
I have a hunch
this guest's not hungry

Weekly Scribblings #45: https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2020/11/weekly-scribblings-45-artistic.html A picture prompt this week, prose or poetry inspired by one or more of three paintings. I chose two, 'Beautiful, YOU are' by Magic Love Crow, and 'Carnival Dreams' by Shelle Kennedy. 'Carnival Dreams' by Shelle Kennedy Beautiful, you are, though your thoughts are dark, and bitter. A macabre carnival of emotion battles in you. The heart you wear belies the fury of the one that beats. Your face tells. Tells of suffering, loneliness, too much despair in one so young. One still hoping. Yet not daring to hope. Hope! The red balloon you cling to. Hope! Straining skyward. 'Beautiful, YOU are' by Magic Love Crow Look outside the gates. Outside your grim carnival and watch the crows at sunset fly in
Too much punch? A most delightful Muse.
ReplyDeleteMaybe! Thank you.
DeleteNot enough punch to make the people hungry!
ReplyDeleteThat could be! A bit more punch and they'd eat anything!
DeleteI love this a bunch!! So glad you joined us for the Muse!!
ReplyDeleteI had fun! At first I had NO idea what to make of that photo!
DeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were amused! I think lambs (and sheep, although I don't think my stores sell mutton) are too cute to eat. Delicious, but just too cute...
Deletehaha - I always enjoy a good rhyme scheme
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too, but this probably isn't it! Ha!
DeleteExcellent rhyming, such a fun poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a fun photo!
DeleteSeems your sheep would rather drink it's lunch rather than eat. Some will Be careful of those maskless, they are two fold trouble. Nice rhyme too.
ReplyDelete..
That sheep's like my late father-in-law, but probably nicer. Yes, those maskless ones have chips on their shoulder from the get go. I guess they would, since they know they are in the wrong as soon as they enter a store.
DeleteI wonder if sheep are as demanding in the kitchen as dogs? They can definitely reach the counter...
ReplyDeleteMy cats are the demanding ones, the dogs aren't usually a problem. They've all learned the foil noise might mean I'm cutting up new packages of chicken to freeze, so line up for some handouts.
DeleteLove this!
DeleteIt's funny until all I want to do is cover a pan with foil! I warn them, "This isn't anything for you," but I still hear running down the hall. I hate to disappoint them all. Cats seem especially turned in to sounds.
