“People have got to learn:
if they don’t have cookies in the cookie jar,
they can’t eat cookies”
Suze Orman

Cookie Jar

Delicious and nutritious
Are the cookies in the jar
But something suspicious
Is also lurking not so far
When the jar is left unwatched
It’s almost like bewitched
A creature of a special kind
A cookie monster you will find

“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

Having My Cake and Eating It Too (TBT)

“Don’t be a bitter Bitch!
Just make them EAT IT, HONEY!”
Latrice Royale

Having My Cake and Eating It Too

Having my cake
And eating it too
May be
A catch twenty-two

Having it both ways
Without any pays
Looking for clues
Paying my dues

Powerless against sacrifice
Not willing to compromise
Finding ways to circumvent
Avoiding getting dents

Still my cake is crumbling down
Falling into little pieces
Not worth even half a crown
Soon enough ceases
To exist
Vaporizing into mist

Who ever finds the recipe
To uncover this mystery
Please feel free
To share it with me

“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

“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!”
Howard Schultz

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

At dinner time
All is just fine
Especially,
When doing 
The “fine dine”

“My favourite country is Finland
because once you get to a certain point
you can drive for hours without seeing a single person.
I love peace and quiet – something I don’t get very often”

Jean Sibelius Day, 8th of December

Jean Sibelius, born Johan Julius Christian Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957), was a Finnish composer and violinist of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. He is widely recognized as his country’s greatest composer and, through his music, is often credited with having helped Finland to develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia.

Sibelius composed prolifically until the mid-1920s but after completing his Seventh Symphony (1924), the incidental music for The Tempest (1926), and the tone poem Tapiola (1926).
