Silliness Zelda had a little lamb

AprilHare · 01-22-2010, 08:00 PM

I keep on seeing this in ShortNCuddlyAm's device description:
"Zelda had a little lamb."
Anyone else get this brilliant mental image of Zelda being a cute cuddly sheep?

I forgot I still had that in my device description!!

My mental image of Zelda is a monstrously great and powerful eagle with harsh dark lines soaring the skies leaving dark shadows on the people below who run in fear of the terror she causes when she hunts her prey which is preferably a wee lamb right out of her mommy's chute.

Okay, I've had one too many donuts today. No, I don't.

Zelda the eagle? Too much!
And how can you have one too many doughnuts? I thought it was physically impossible!

Hadn't seen this subservient chook before. Interesting (one of those ad campaigns that never made it outside of the United States methinks).

What pops into my mind is that old, schoolground joke:

"Zelda had a little lamb,
the doctor had a fit."

That would be late primary school, year 6-7, Amberley State Primary School, aged 11-12. Time has moved on, but I haven't much.

Cheers,
Marc

zelda had a little lamb - with fava beans and a nice Chianti. (it's a haiku)

I heard a variation on the radio recently:

Zelda had a mobile phone,
She texted day and night,
But when it came to her exams
She'd forgotten how to write.

(From a news story about how texting improves child literacy - the presenter couldn't understand how that could be, and spouted the above in response.)

I believe that Zelda is vegetarian, so I'm sure that she would share the beans with the lamb.

She may have a lamb. But she wants a pony.

Well, you have to start somewhere when breaking the awful habit of vegetarianism.
But a pony?

Don't know about Zelda, but I'd heard "Mary had a little lamb,.....next time she'll be more careful"
