Killer Ice-Cream and Fuzzy Ducks

This weekend has been a pretty busy one, so I've done a round-up of yesterday's and today's drawings!

Saturday's rhyme was (in my opinion) a little lame...in fact it was more of an advertising jingle than a nursery rhyme:

"I scream, you scream, We all scream for ice-cream!"

See what I mean? Crikey this post could be sponsored by Wall's Ice-Cream at this rate ;) So I decided to steer clear of children chasing ice-cream vans etc etc as that was a bit too obvious. 

Instead, I decided to draw an ice-cream cone that would make the kiddies scream for an entirely different reason....

OMG ...it's Mr Whippy meets Texas Chain Saw Massacre!!!!

So before anyone gets nightmares, let's move on to today's rhyme ;)

"Cluck! Cluck! the nursing hen Summons her folk- 

 Ducklings all downy soft, Yellow as yolk.

 Cluck! Cluck! the mother hen Summons her chickens 

 To peck the dainty bits Found in her pickings"

This is part of a longer poem by Christina Rossetti, but I was a bit confused by the first verse....why is a hen summoning ducklings? Surely it should be a duck and ducklings, then a hen and chicks!

I've gone with the amended mother / offspring pairing and drawn two families... one on land and the other on water:

Hope you like them all :)
