The Engineer

The Engineer
With flair quite creative
Fashioned an Engine
To help him to hear with.

His old ear was lost
In a bitter winter frost
It simply crumbled away
A twisted bright pink
It made a large clonk
As it bounced in the sink.

Not one to dwell
On that which hadn’t gone well
He soon had an idea
Which, although it seemed queer
Would give him, he thought,
The worlds grandest ear.

So,‘twas out with his tools
All fiery and swift
and in no time at all
He’d had a face lift.

About Tom Godfrey

My artwork ranges from the traditional, to the slightly offbeat.

With the wildlife and landscape, paintings, I like a more photo-realistic approach, with light, colour, emotion and a sense of space, being key components.

My cartoons are a little quirky, with themes and styles varying according to mood.

    no, but I’ve got the one I used. LOL.
    right click on the image.
    Click on properties
    Drag cursor over the full length of the address (URL) including the extension eg Jpg.
    Then, in your description or body of work, paste the URL between ! exclamation marks (no spaces).

    See how you go Tom.
