If the happy, beguiling, little pig doesn’t convince you then maybe the reminder that the meat is “freshly butchered” or in a more literal translation: freshly slaughtered.
I’ve shown this butchery sign before which is not surprising since I can see it on every stroll around our neighbourhood.

Monochrome Madness has a free week, i.e. no fixed prompt. Just share your monochrome photos on any subject with Leanne’s site and we can all have look at them. I picked almond blossoms for this week.

There once was a baker who wanted her cakes to be seen.
So for St Patrick’s Day she baked one all pretty and green.
For decorations she decided on shamrock and feet
The cake ended up looking yummy and neat.
And though black the feet were doubtlessly clean.
I knew I would be able to use a photo of the sculpture one day. It’s called “Klenkes” which means “pinkie” and it illustrates a special way that the people of Aachen greet each other.
A look up can be rewarding. If surprising.
And it has been a pleasure through the ages.

When I was looking for rhymes with bath I came upon “Bundesrath” in a rhyming dictionary. There are two things wrong with that listing. For one, the normal spelling is “Bundesrat”, writing “Rat” like “Rath” is very ancient and predates the German second chamber (aka “Bundesrat”) by something like 150 years. But the th would never be pronounced anyway. So here goes my second limerick:
A journalist reporting from Bath
talked extensively about the Bundesrath.
My teutonic feelings were stirred!
How could he pronounce this word
With a th? That’s clearly the sign of sociopath.
