Indirect Objects and Livestock
[email protected]
Well, I DO know what an indirect object is, and truly have no desire to
acquire livestock.
And, well, figs don't fly. PIGS fly. You'd think you Livestock chicks would
know that.
Oh...while I do know what an indirect object is, I don't think anyone really
NEEDS to know what it is. In fact, I have never been asked to diagram a
sentence in real life. It's stupid.

When pigs fly is a different idiom.
But here's what about flying livestock, poetry from my childhood:
Birdie, birdie in the sky
Why you do dat in my eye?
Me no laugh, me no cry;
Me just glad that cows don't fly.
and from Shakespeare
"Where the bee sucks, there suck I
In a cowslip's bell I lie
There I couch when owls to cry
On a bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily..."
But when Keith and I were young and in a madrigal group, we taught all our
friends to sing "there I crouch when cows do fly" on the third line, when we
weren't performing, which made performances harder, and more fun.

From my youth:
Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz.
I wonder where the flowers is?
The bird is on the wing.
Isn't that absurd -
I always thought the wing was on the bird.
