Talking to this little lad

About something he had lost.

He was looking in a heap of stuff

Into which the thing was tossed.

I said, "You'll never find it

Because it is so small.

Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

You've got no chance at all".

The young lad looked askew at me

And then began to dig,

Muttering "I am going to find it,

Cos an eagle is quite big!"

Made me think of the lady who lost a ring 40 years ago in the garden and it was never found until she dug up some carrots and there it was round a carrot! Keep digging.

Thanks Eric, I can’t help wondering how many connected ‘a needle’ with ‘an eagle’. Might just be my Northern accent. 🤔
