Here is this week's picture. There's a Flanders and Swann song called 'There's a bird on my head' and this image reminded me of it.
Oh, what can ail thee, Knight at arms?
What's this thing on top me 'elmet – a periscope? I ain't going in water for no-one. This stuff rusts!
Sounds like an early attempt at submarine warfare :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed that.
Dear Janice, I loved this. It looks like we all needed a good laugh this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Oh, I love it, Janice! I don't blame him, I wouldn't go in the water either -- not in that! Great take for the day! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
he he, love the tone and "brogue" very clever!
ReplyDeleteglug, glug, I told you, glug. Gone for predicament today. My 140 is here
ReplyDeleteLOL! Too funny! Not only will it rust, but also I think ye might sink, lol!
ReplyDeleteStep away from the river! The camera will follow your every move!
ReplyDeleteImaginative!
OMG I loved this. You did Keats well my friend. :) Great take on the photo :) Have a wonderful Monday :)
ReplyDeleteFunny one, Janice. Plus it's hard to swim wearing armor. I don't know HOW I know that but I think it's true. :)
ReplyDeleteIt DOES look like an odd helmet attachment. :) Wise warrior.
ReplyDeletePoor Knight, being made to be a Submarine, I hope he gets his Oil Can, if the experiments continue.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I don't blame him for refusing to jump into the water in that suit!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, JB ~~ Now for the rusting problem, my Mr. Tin Man can loan you some WD-40. Can you get that in the U.K?
ReplyDelete..
Maybe he could sell himself for scrap metal.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a thought -- an amphibious suit of armor! LOL
ReplyDeleteVery good, Jabblog! Not many entries made reference to the "periscope." Further . . . the suit seems to narrow a lot at the waist. I wondered if it was the ladies' model . . a sort of full-length, all-embrasing chastity belt.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I too felt I should to apologise to John Keats . .
Maybe he could grease himself up first, like those who swim the English Channel ?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a large amount of common sense
ReplyDeletefor one so armored, thick and dense. LOL all the way!
