The topic for  for this week’s  52-week Illustration Challenge is Machinery. SO here’s my picture-in-words for the topic.

 

The Machine

 

It is big

It is exciting

Captivating and inviting

But I just have to ask

What is it for?

 

It’s got bits

Clicking and whirring

Go so fast my vision’s blurring

But once again I ask

What is it for?

 

There are crowds

Starting to gather

All a-blither and – blather

And they’re all wanting to know

What is it for?

 

Then it belches

Out some smoke

Clunks and bangs and it has broke

And now we’ll never know

What was it for?
