Friday Flash 55 ~ Giant Mistake

Giant Mistake,

 or

Hedgewitch’s 119^th Surreal Dream

Working in

the campaign kitchen,

you hand me the poster.

Make a copy you say

of the tired Giant,

clutching spear,

eyes wild,

fighting the tiny army

shackling his ankles

piercing his hairy thighs with

iron hawsers, holding him

furious at bay.

Running the copier,

I doubt
even a Giant

can live through this.

August 2011

Yes, folks, another dream. Wish I could post the actual poster I 'saw' in it for you, but this old illustration will have to do. Not going to pretend I have it figured out, but my best guess is, things don't look so good for the country come next election.
