Happy International Dame Angela Lansbury Appreciation Day!

She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more

A Concrete Seat, at the Beach

Posted in Seat Sunday

A Bench at the Beach-1

“If you’re not bringing anything to the table, give up your seat”

A Concrete Seat, at the Beach

Looking for my favourite spot
The one I prefer for break times
Buried under snow it seems
Workings of a wintry plot!

Snow aside,
I really don’t mind
Sitting down for a few
Enjoying the silent view
Before the evening
Sun sets

“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky

Caturday

The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along

“Five cats and a woman. That is all I need in life” Alejandro Jodorowsky

Caturday

Cats of a foreign land
Sitting on a lava strand
Too hot to fish
Too hot for a stroll
Guess, the best bet is
To hang around the bowl
On this lazy sunny day
Nothing else to do but lay

On a Slow Road to Hell

Posted in Freaky Friday

“Going to hell, in a handbasket, really, really fast”

On a Slow Road to Hell

Loosing all sense of colour
No use in a loud holler
All shades of grey are fading
The perfect picture slowly degrading
Turning to black and white
Really, there was no fight

Life passing by in slow motion
Reminiscent of an old silent film
But with less commotion

Standing here
Where the line used to be
Then, drawn in sand
Facing what I feared
A wall of concrete
Now complete
Wondering,
Who’s got the upper hand

A note of some kind
Almost rendered me blind
In proud bold letters,
A big ass sign

“TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT!”

If There is a Wrong Place and a Wrong Time, I’ll be There

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“Not fitting in just means you’re in the wrong place”

If There is a Wrong Place and a Wrong Time, I’ll be There

A sale of shoes
Small sizes only
feeling bold
Into the men’s section
I wandered
No time to loose
A nice pair of boots
Fitting like a glove
I am in love
A passer by
Asks me to pose
For a picture
To be a feature
In the paper

In my raggedy jeans
Crashing a party
Of the cocktail kind
A piece of a pie
Instructing all to jive
I was an
Overnight sensation
Even without
The proper presentation
Dancing the night away
With a hip and a sway

In my way to a show
My face in a glow
Hoping premium seats to score
Then a let down
All sold out
Feeling like clown
My face in a frown
Life is a bore

Sitting in the entry way
Sobbing
‘Hey lady’ I hear
Can you sing?
In my mind a ding
My heart is throbbing
Without remorse
I join the chorus
Singing my heart out
Without a doubt
The best night
Of my entire life
Despite the lack
Of several facts
I can’t dance, act or even sing

I, am the Queen, of Fucking Everything!

Posted in the Throwback Thursday

“Careful how you play your card, when you have a queen in your hand”

I, am the Queen, of Fucking Everything!

Who am I?
You dare to ask me?
Or are you playing shy?
Or do you task me?

Do you not know who I am?

I am everyone
And I am no one
I know all
Still I am alone

I own everything
And I own nothing
I rule the world
Yet, I rule nothing
I rule your world
I rule you

I am gorgeous
I am sexy
I am marvellous
I am perplexing
Hardly ordinary
I am, extraordinaire

All the adjectives you can imagine
No one quite my kin

I can do anything
I can do everything
I can go everywhere
You can find me anywhere

And don’t you dare
To disagree with me
Or I will give you the scare
For contradicting me

Why?
You ask

The reason is
this simple thing
I am the Queen of
Fucking Everything!

Acropolis, Athens, for World Wide Wednesday (four)

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller

Acropolis, Athens

Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

Acropolis, Athens, for World Wide Wednesday (three)

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller

Acropolis, Athens

Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets
