The Barn by Ralph Hagen for June 13, 2023

Some well deserved peace and quiet for Stan and Karl for a while.

“It’s fleece was white as snow.”

I don’t remember how I learned the traditional nursery rhymes. From my parents? In school? Books? No idea.

However it was for me, do children still learn them? If not, will there be a time when cartoonists no longer do jokes about Humpty Dumpty? Or the Cat and the Fiddle? Or Jack and Jill?

And does anyone rock their babies to sleep using the old lullabies? I’ll admit, some are rather morbid like “Go, tell Aunt Nancy the old grey goose is dead.” Are we teaching the new generations to be afraid of life? Or death for that matter.

this is where little Spanky says:

“if he hollers let him go, eeeny meeeny miney mo!’

I feel sorry for Rory.

Nooooo! What about Sheepy, Stan, Karl….

Another appearance of the Child. Going to assume “Mom” owns the place for the kid to so freely help herself to the livestock. If not, Mom has boundary issues :D

Rory’s being held against his wool.

Fortunately she did not want to take Stan. :)

Good thing she didn’t spot Sheepy!!!!!! He’d be a goner! :)

Local sheep abducted by alien!

Rory for show and tell. What a terrified lamb looks like.

Aww… Elvira
