Oops!


Stretch
It wasn’t me!
I didn’t see!
It was very dark…
It was a lark!
Yes, I heard a noise…
Like lots of boys
Laughing and playing…
And someone was saying
Let’s break the glass
Yes, that’ll pass
No-one will know
Oh! Why does it grow?!

Illustration Friday time again; this week, the theme is ‘stretch’. Pinocchio came to mind with his inability to stretch the truth, so that is who I went with for this week’s sketch.

Hehehe… a stretch sketch! The smallest things amuse me at times!

      Thanks, Sue, I like to ‘have a go’ every now and then. I used to really enjoy art years ago, but don’t seem to get much chance nowadays. And not to worry… I’m sure I’ll be adding a few more sketches as time goes by! 😀
