“If there’s a ‘Cruel Summer’ then there’s got to be a ‘Cruel Winter,’ right? That’s all I’m saying” Q-Tip
Sunday, One
Soft snowflakes falling down to the ground
Like confetti thrown on a celebrating crowd
Covering everything in a white shroud
Looking like the skies fluffiest clouds
Enjoying the scenic vision feeling proud
Before the snowy blanket gets ploughed

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein
A Seat fit for a Queen
A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”
Ode to My Family
Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead
I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked
So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”
Family
Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

“I look like the man in the moon” Martin Freeman
Daylight Moon (Daily Photo 2016-01-09)
The cloudless blue evening sky
Bringing the moon out from its hide
Painted neatly into the landscape
With a uncompleted crescent shape
The eternal battle
Closer to a haggle
Between moon and sun
Had once more begun
Excellent post for all cat lovers!
In honour of Caturday and all cats everywhere and to my dear sister

“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter” Billy Connolly
Winter, Winter
Oh winter, winter
You are such a splinter
In our collective derrières
Oh winter winter
I am using my printer
Producing images of summer
Oh winter winter
The whitish tinter
Gets old really fast
Oh winter winter
Do I really sound bitter
Just kidding, I’ll get by 😉

“Now is the winter of our discontent” William Shakespeare
Sunset
A flash of light
Breaking the gray skies
It was a sight
But oh how time flies
The sun
Has set

Footsteps
There are no missteps
Just follow my footsteps
And you may find
A reward of a different kind..
