at Hungerford: a crooked house

My last effort for @summerfield's owo-3 - a house reflected in the Kennet and Avon Canal and I have also flipped it vertically.

"There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all liv'd together in a little crooked house."

It is possible that this nursery rhyme originated in the once prosperous wool merchant’s village of Lavenham (in my native Suffolk). The old multicolored half-timbered houses lean at irregular angles as if supporting each other.

Great idea and matches the rhyme perfectly Hazel!
