Mary Had A Little Lamb
How very cute
My son, at 11 years, brings home all the neighbourhood strays and today was no different.
I look out the window and spy him walking through the back gate with a cute, fluffy four-legged friend following.
As he gets closer to the house, I hear him singing his favourite nursery rhyme.
"Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow," he sings.
Oh dear, it looks like we have another animal to add to our menagerie.
But then my taste buds begin to salivate and I instantly think, who am I kidding? It's lamb roast for dinner.
I was challenged by Jessica's Quill (Medium Writer) to write a drabble of the word 'lamb'.
Wikipedia defines a drabble as follows :
A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Terrifying Encounter: Woman Uncovers Dark Secret in Creepy Abandoned House
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled among rolling hills, there stood a peculiar house. It had been abandoned for a few years and had an eerie aura surrounding it. The house was oddly tiny, as if designed for a small woman or a child. Its wooden structure bore the marks of time, and a rusty gate guarded the entrance.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
