The Little Fish Swam

For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.

I
Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang ‘Tilly-loo!’
Till away they flew,–
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

II

Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat,–
But he never came back to me!
He never came back!
He never came back!
He never came back to me

III

Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

IV

Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

The Little Bird Flew

These photos were all hand held in low lighting without using the flash, they have all turned out rather jiggly.  I really don’t believe that I am displaying my sub-standard photos for everyone to see!

I think there probably should have been a signpost showing the miles on the gate you have to pass through. Here are some of the views I saw on my way to Duntsanburgh, but I am saving the ones of the castle itself for tomorrow.
