World Wide Wednesday: Statues

“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Delphi

Two, standing tall
The one, very small
Statues
Of different statures

World Wide Wednesday: Statues

“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Delphi

The world resting on one’s shoulders
Just get a good grip and try to hold it there

The Charioteer of Delphi
Would suite nicely, for a selfie

“I’m not a Twitterer, I’m not a twerker,
I’m not a Facebooker, I’m not nothing.
I’m old school.”
Michael Jordan

Old School

In the flashback
Neatly done haystacks
In the olden days
When life was laid back

“I’m not a Twitterer, I’m not a twerker,
I’m not a Facebooker, I’m not nothing.
I’m old school.”
Michael Jordan

Old School

What secrets lie
On the riverside
Maybe buried treasure
Or just people in leisure
Just a faded image
Painted for the vintage
A reminder
Of a desire
For the good old days

Michael Jordan

Old School

In my youth
When placing a call
There were these things you used
We called – phone booths
In the olden days
The secret lay
In talking to each other
Now, who bothers
When you can just, type
Oh, what a modern hype!

“People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have one.”
– Leo J. Burke

The Born One

baby

On this day,
A little deary was born
Coming out tooting a horn

The cat said “well, we’ll wait and see!”
The dog retorted “is that something for me?”

The two mommies are in love
There is nothing more precious below or above

Now both aunties too, are happy
As long as they don’t have to change the nappy

Live long and prosper little Hon’
We know you were the long awaited one

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

A boat filled with flowers
Was a little too crowded for the rowers
So instead, they rode a lawnmower
Before the grass grew any taller

Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.”
