Magpie Mystery Object. (47)


Abstract













I opened my Magpie to find
a shape that would not come to mind.
Don‘t want to be rude
But I had to conclude
“It came from a devious mind”!

Or is it a licorice pretzel?

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't know what that thing is. Your work's witty and cleverly written, as always.

    I saw someone had done a nice take on it being a mask - when I first saw it I thought it was a pair of balack framed specs (Groucho Marx style?) but then I put mine on and saw something quite different.

    Hope your not being badly effected by the flooding!

    Licorice pretzel? Only a devious mind such as yours could have come up with this! (I'll have to admit, it does have the exact color and texture of licorice.) ;)

    Who's got the devious mind then Stafford - hahaha - bit like the inkblot tests ('you're the one with the dirty pictures', he said to the psychiatrist).

    It IS a licorice pretzel! You're right, Stafford! It really is. Nice to see there are folk who admit limericks to the Ponderous Canons of Blogpoetry.
