Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Unicorn Challenge.
Hosted by jenne and ceayr, each week they get all TAT on those of us what have a fiction-writing jones and say, “Tell us what you see, (or dream or regret or fear-above-all), in this photo and keep it under two hundred and fifty words.”
There once was a man named Diogenes
Who viewed Man’s nature, with dis-ease
With his truth-telling lamp
He sat like a tramp
’til the cops said, “Move along if you please”.

(connection to the above? what can we say? we gots no idea)
That Clark is a man of culture
with eyesight as sharp as a vulture
He spotted at once

Diogenes in driftwood sculpture
Excellent take, Clark – and I like the music too.

A cynic with a lifestyle quite odd
He said Plato was naught but a fraud
He said to Alex, old mate
You’re not so Great
You’re no chicken but you sure ain’t no god
Great take, Clark.
