Margarita Lillico's 'Still Holding My Own Contest: 10/29/24

A beastly man and his wife had a spat The savage hit me with a baseball bat What a despicable jerk But my bowl and spigot work Still capable of holding water... splat!

Hard to know if this is an actual work of art designed by man, (the photo that is) but you certainly give us a very plausible and fun alternative Lin, amazing how things can still work when smashed to pieces, even us humans sometimes lol! Cheers David

No kidding, David. I found this photo easier to write about than the one with those 3 boys. Yep, even some people work to some degree when they're broken. Thanks for the comments.
