Didacus Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 [quote name='Noel's angel' date='Aug 1 2005, 02:50 PM'][snip] 3. it may seem 'sensationalised' to you, but remember, the poem about the red wheelbarrow wasn't about a red wheelbarrow at all... [right][snapback]667471[/snapback][/right] [/quote] i know a cute one about a sheep that wasn't realy a sheep, but it's not appropriate for htese boards... I don't know anything about a poem of a red wheelbarrel that wasn't a wheelbarrel... Ahhh, but i do know the story of the woman who crossed the borders every morning selling sand that was in a wheelbarrel.... turns out she wasn't selling snad at all!

I want to know... I used to want to be a poet (actually, I still do... ) Do share, do share? I'll tell you my story about a wheelbarrel, then you tell me the poem you got on wheelbarrels... and then we'll leave it at that (don't want to turn this into a wheelbarrel thread...) _________________________ A woman was crossing the borders to go to the market every morning. The guard/tax collector would ask every morning what she was selling... "sand, just sand" she would say, with her wheelbarrel full of sand. The guard, every morning would check the sand to see if the woman was smuggling any goods, and never found anything in the wheelbarrel except for the sand she mentionned. He thought she was a nut-case, and actually stopped checking the sand all together after a while. Until one day, going through the market with his friend, his firend happened to point her out and said "That lady sells the nicest wheelbarrels in the market.". The guard slapped his head more than once. OK, now your turn!

In french its a 'barril' so my guess was actually a good one... ils sont fous ces anglais! Edited August 1, 2005 by Didacus
