Silly Billy was too chilly
So he too a little nap.
Silly Billy did not really
Think it would cause him mishap.
Frilly Tilly woke him shrilly
And with very little slack,
Sent him home and told poor Billy
That he isn’t welcome back.
For the dVerse poetry quadrille challenge: silly
Note: I find this photo too delightful to use only once… So if you think you’d seen it before, you are not imagining things … 🙂

Wearing armor, it’s obvious he was guarding the castle. Poor Silly Billy is now back shoveling out barn stalls.

Yep, probably. Though … I suspect he’s probably napping in the hay … 😉

I read the other day that if you love someone you’ll let them nap. I guess Tilly did not care for Billy.

She certainly did not care for him taking a nap while he should be up. 😉
