He ploughs the air

He measures a twig

He opens the door with an axe

He is making clothes for fishes

He is teaching a pig to play on a flute

He catches the wind with a net

He changes a fly into an elephant

He is making ropes of sand

He draws water with a sieve

He puts a hat on a hen

He roasts snow in a furnace

He is teaching iron to swim

I found these twelve proverbs of absurd actions

Engraved into the trunk of an ancient oak

In the Dream Fields of Margaret

Which can be found in her field of dreams
