Snapshot

Missing image
.


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



..

Author notes

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

    Very Good. Makes me think.

    Geez mate, I was going to ask for your photo, but I have changed my mind now. You sister reminds me of my mother in law and ex wife, so I know you will understand if I ask you ... "Please don'e send your photo "

    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

    I don't know why you don't have a picture of yourself on your author's page...what a great smile. If your sister should see this...you may have to send her some flowers. I hope she has your great sense of humor. Very funny...good luck in the contest. ~ Sue

    A little ditty that may not win a prize but it will produce so many smiles that strech across many miles. You did a great job putting this little ditty together and yes the picture did catch my eyes in a funny kind of way.

    Have a wonderful easter weekend

    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)

    Hahahahaha.... I am sure every image can inspire you to write a poem. This is indeed a very funny one. It made me smile again. Oh yes, it will catch the readers eye.... and this poem certainly justifies your NAME. Oh yes, it is a pretty picture, I do agree... what....? Is it a picture of you and me? lol. No I am only joking. Very well done Legend. Thanks for entering my contest. Anna.

    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
