Coffee for 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 weeks archives are dedicated to the most finest organic suspension ever devised: Coffee!
So, sit down, relax, and enjoy a cup or few 😉

Monday with(out) Coffee

What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy

It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate

Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break

Not without my Coffee

I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension 
One of the greatest inventions

So read this  forewarning

If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled

Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava

Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of

Coffee with a Side Dish 

A cup of coffee or a few
With a sweet side dish or two
A lifesaver for any day
Will keep all kinds of doctors away

passion-1 (DAY FOUR)

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons” T. S. Eliot

Coffee makes the world go around

Coffee
Makes the world go around,
The world go around,
The world go around

Nothing is a more sweeter sound
But the spoon makes a clinking sound
When in the coffee cup
Swirling around

The Four Options Of Coffee

1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak

How to recognize bad coffee:

1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.

You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:

1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.

Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

And we are privileged
To serve any form of derrière
Be it straight, ambiguous or queer”

By the Pool 

Storm chasing
By the pool
Just because
I’m cool
Some say
What a fool
But I’m not
Breaking any rules
Just looking
For nature’s jewel

With a heart that’s racing
The moment embracing
The storm, finally raging
And I,
I am singing

Bird Watching

“The tables are turned”
The little bird chirped
As she sat
On the latch
…People watching
