There Once was a Boy Whose Mother that Bore Him was Dead.  Work in progress today.
Inspired by the first line of an African fairy tale called The Wonderful Horns in an early 20th century anthology of fairy tales that I have. It just had a wonderful sound, divorced from context, so I collected it and I want to spin it into a picture.
