A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go
An old nursery rhyme.

| I found the central pieces .. two toy frogs and the board for some sort of shell game. They looked good together, but held no meaning. Until I gave the big one a salivating tongue and a keen look. It began to look like that old nursery rhyme. I found the pieces to make some comparisons ... wooing or courting through different ages & fashions. Small china heads from the romantic and 'proper' 40's And, on the right, the realities of display. The modern woman and the archetypical lusting man. |
