My submission for Illustration Friday's "open" is a painting of "The Mother Goose Cafe". Once upon a time this cafe was open for business.It must have been a wonderful place! I am grateful that there are people out there that have wacky ideas and make incredible buildings for me to paint.
Mother Goose Cafe: Location unknown only that it is somewhere in Florida.
LICE!

Lice.
Lice.
I just don’t like lice.
They lurk in your hair like some small, living rice.
They’re itchy and scratchy – those louse are not nice!
They’re hard to get rid of, like pimples or mice.
They crawl onto others without asking twice.
So if you get louses… excuse me… get lice,
Don’t go off to school or to other folks hice!
(I'm posting an original poem-a-day through April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and there are lots of others, because poetry is NOT just for April) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".)

Val, love this, one of my favorite shows on HGTV is "What's With That House" I've seen several of these unusual houses. I know I've seen a duck and a shoe (whether it was this one I don't know). This duck cafe is so cute.
I think this should be a place where artists meet for lunch! Wonderful Val!
