“There are always flowers for those who want to see them” Henri Matisse
Pretty White Things
Before the night fall
The pretty whites stand tall
But soon around the secure branch
Their petals will sprawl

Happy 77th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen
“I’m not quite as cool as I would like to be, really” Ian McKellen
Happy Birthday to Sir Ian McKellen
Listen what I’m tellin’
There’s a dude worth the yellin’
His name is McKellen
And he’s quite the fellow
Absolutely helluv’
An actor too!
Shakespeare, science fiction, fantasy
Add to that a good doze of reality
Each part done quite talently
So listen to me carefully
And sing along this melody
Let’s do this part formally
Join me loudly yellin’
Wishing Sir Ian McKellen
A very happy birthday!

“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” ~Author Unknown
Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!
You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic
Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat
My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee

“Anything is good if it’s made of chocolate” Jo Brand
My Little Piece of Heaven

There is just
something about you
I am in lust
And only for you
I am finding it impossible
to stay away
Highly improbable
Anything would keep me at bay
I lost you
Luckily
I found you

My little bit of Heaven
By sweet sweet
I am up to seven
My one and only treat
My sweet chocolate bar
In a serial package
You didn’t venture too far
When I was tracking

“To have my cake and eat it too?… hm… eat it!”
Chocolate Cake 
It’s just a cake
Nothing fake
Some sugar and spice
All the things nice
And do not forget
The best ingredient
What is it?
What else for a ‘holic
But dark chocolate

Throwback Thursday
On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.
This week’s Throwback Thursday is dedicated to Chocolate.
What was the question? Who cares, the answer is Chocolate!
Enjoy!
