    /// Godward painted a girl Winding Wool

    in a Pompeian Garden. She’ll pull

    the wool spindle up high,

    lest some moths should fly by

    and undo her work, eating their full.

    Merilyn sitting on her chair covered with tiger skin while winding wool in the wind. Mount Vesuvius is about to unwind it all.

    Really, I’m supposed to lift and plunge, repeat as needed?

    “And then he said ‘you should use that tiger skin to make a bikini’, and then I smacked him upside the head with my skein.”

    Beware if she asks if you want to play with her kitty. As the skins attest, she doesn’t play nice.

    Sleeping Beauty sat there depressed, considering if she should just end it all.

    I didn’t know that I was going to have to carry this Olympic torch so far, just let me sit a spell and catch my breath.

    I thought she was just airing out her pits, one at a time.

    And in another split second—even lefty!—that hideous vase she’d hated all her life was history.

    And that was the last time she would by the “house brand” antiperspirant from Dollar General.

    Winding wool in a Pompeian garden

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Wool in art" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string garden, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3360 (August 19, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment and replies pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 13 works by him have been used here (13 times, 1 strip has 4, and 3 repeats), the January 10, 2024, strip being the prior.
