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
