“I think the humour of double puns is incredible” Richard Lederer

Opposites Sides (Photography 101) 

A reflection, a mirage
Or an artistic collage
Or a cleverly devised camouflage

Mirror images
A precise visage
As drawn,
By the line of scrimmage

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

Seat Sunday in Cyprus: Two

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

“Because it’s a seat”

Seat Sunday in Cyprus: One

A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

“Cats have it all – admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it” Rod McKuen

The Girl and The Cat: Part Two

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
Almost like aristocrats

“Mirror, mirror on the camera
The two of us are giving you glamoura’
Soon with us, all will enamoura’ “

The girl and the cat
Posing with a knack
Pretty pictures, are the result of that

“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!”
