Tess gave us another B & W photo to set our imaginations going this week, as befits that black and white Magpie bird which figures in her blog title. I tend not to see things in black and white, so here's where my Friedlander photo details took the Jinksy mind...
DON'T JUMP!
A king in his palace, a pig in his sty
each have the same distance

IGWRT's Friday challenge , which I've now got round to reading, asked for a poem written in less than 5 minutes, and including the word 'ecstacy'... How could I resist another joke?

without the need for mis-
tletoe!

The detail is from a image by Lee Friedlander, 1966. Linked to Magpie Tales today, and on Friday, it will serve for Flash 55!
