Our village smithy's a grand chap... with a special eye for the birds... and what's more he likes to show off his wares in public... so if travelling around this neck of the woods... keep a special eye open for Old Horny Thom.

"...a humphy backit Heron
nearly as big as me
stands by the waterside
fishin for his tea... "

Not to be confused with my regular weekend teaser (A Little Something for the Weekend) I wondered if anyone might be up for a bit of Sunday fun?

Who can tell me what this is, or what it might be used for?

You may want to look away now...

Of course if you think you can stand it... click the image and have a much closer look.
