“Actors, I don’t think, ever really grow up. I’m hoping that that rejuvenating process applies to me, too. It has so far. I’ve been very lucky” Derek Jacobi

Happy Birthday Sir Derek Jacobi

Loved you in Claudius
Adored you in Octavius
Excellent performance in Cadfael
Utterly radiant in Halifax
And completely hilarious in Vicious

On this special day
An homage I’d like to pay
With wishes most sincere
To an actor utterly revered
Sir Derek Jacobi

Caturday with Mr Diesel: The Song

Sometimes I like to jog
Or pretend I am a frog
I know someone keeps a blog
Of all my adventures like a travel-log
But now I really need to end this monologue
If you want autographs, just order from the catalogue
End transmission in one, two…. Off

I am Mr Diesel the dog
I sometimes sleep like a log
My vision hazy because of smog
I chewed up my mom’s good clogs
And almost got sent to Prague

Sometimes I like to jog
Or pretend I am a frog
I know someone keeps a blog
Of all my adventures like a travel-log
But now I really need to end this monologue
If you want autographs, just order from the catalogue

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”
Carl Sagan

“Come on,
Do not be afraid
Take a bite,
You may find
You do like
This more
Than the other kind”

Old Man Jobs told the scared little nerd
as he handed over the apple, with a byte bitten off.
How quite unheard!

“Oh, never mind
The missing piece”

Jobs continued

“An encounter
With an unrefined
Caused the apple
To shatter…”

He started to laugh, evilly

“But, you should have seen
How the soft micros cleaned
As soon as they bit
My apple!”

Travel and Ice Coffee 

An order in a tall glass
It was never meant to last
But while it did
It surely was a blast!

Travel and Ice Coffee 

Coffee, like shoes
Always better in the twos
Just because
It’s so difficult to choose

Travel and Ice Coffee 

To the extreme
Is today’s theme
Or so it seems…

Ripened coffee beans
Of which you could only dream
On them pour water nearly steamed
And soon
Into the stratosphere you will be beamed

“Coffee and ice
Go together
Like sugar and spice”

Hey, I am trying to say something nice
And keeping out of proven lies
So just act along
And we’ll be able to finish this song!

Travel and Ice Coffee 

When it is
Time for a break
Make no mistake
Choose wisely
Order precisely

Not a soda
Not water
Not even tea
Only very iced
Coffee
