An ostrich in its natural habitat (I think)
My weekly limerick challenge seems to have grown an extra feature – my sons keep drawing pictures to go with whatever I write a limerick about! This week they chose ‘ostrich’ as a theme. There was much laughter at the final line (small boys are so easy to please!) although I did have to explain the old fashioned meaning of the word ‘drawers’ to them.
Here’s what I came up with:
There once was a dextrous young ostrich
who was very proficient at cross-stitch
needle clamped ‘tween her claws
she embroidered some drawers
but sadly the things made her bot itch.
This challenge is proving to be quite fun but also quite a brain strain!
If you look very carefully you can see her frilly knickers… round her legs…
I love it! I was liking the weekly limericks, but now it’s gone to a whole new level! #MiniCreations
Thanks! yes it’s nice to have the boys as my own budding illustrators!
I really like that one x
Haha that’s brilliant. I love the drawing too. Clever boys xx

Ha ha! Love it!
Grace says – That has got to be the most unusual, most AWESOME Ostrich I have ever seen. Great idea to get the kids involved in what you’re writing. My Mummy would love this – I’m just about to go off and show her this x
