.
I clicked on Google Image, to see if I could see
An image out of millions that would inspire me
I typed in Funny pictures and this was what I saw
It said please write about me, in truth I wasn’t sure
I studied it quite deeply while looking for a sign
All I saw were two small monkeys, clinging to a vine
Not one to duck a challenge that’s really not my game
I had to think of something to justify my name
It’s just a little ditty that may not win a prize
but I am sure the image will catch the reader’s eyes
It’s such a pretty picture I’m sure you will agree
On the left my sister, and on the right is me
..

I really did look in Google.Its just a silly little piece as I was in that sort of mood

Come on now Sue if i put my picture on my page they would just spend time looking at me instead of reading my work. Do you take me for a fool. as to my sister there is only 11 months between us, we could be twins, she would see the funny side of it, after she beat the living daylights out of me first
thank you so much for your comment Have a nice Easter -

Thank Anna I don't know about writing about any image,It can though give one a little inspiration when ones mind is not working .It is something I like to do just to force myself to write. Thank you for taking time to read and comment not all setters do.but you are one that always does. You seem to forget you have your picture on you page so I know it's not you along side me. Mmm on second thoughts ( only joking)

LOL. So cute Legend! Yes, it is funny what you can find when looking for a pic on the net. Once I wanted a pic of a sewing machine by the brand name of White,and could you believe when I put that in up popped pics of the flippen KKK???? LOL needless to say I was pressing that escape button frantically--hehe. Great write my friend,and good luck in the contest--fair
