The white sandwiches in Tooker's lunch reminded me of that and I threw it out to the birds.<br /><br />Once again you have supplied the bit of history and biography that is substance behind the image and came up with the perfect poem.<br /><br />Remember the song - Little houses made of ticky tacky.

I'm sure many of us feel the truth of this observation. <br /><br />I like your repetition and your introductory information. I too touched upon rodents in my poem but curiously never gave the rat race a thought as I did so; it does fit the painting well though.Ann Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501522748426995035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-15717679049224278412011-12-06T05:35:08.154-11:002011-12-06T05:35:08.154-11:00I enjoyed your Magpie!
