Strange thing…
Worthy of close attention and a poem.
The fur on the side reminds me of cow hide, and the shape of a bull’s head mounted on a wall.

Extremely interesting and intriguing. I loved it. Come see me and read about some Damsels in Distress. Everyone likes the ladies in need of a rescue or finding that God is always the Rescuer in Chief. jlheman1945
