“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne
Caturday Poem
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb
The Finnish Dream
A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator

“Labels are for cans, not people” Anthony Rap
The Label Maker
Hey you with your label maker!
You like tagging people don’t ya, you faker!
You went right by me and took one look
Stuck this sticker on my forehead without a single hook
I am having a hard time getting it off
Did you think it would make a great perma-label on this spot?
But guess what, you nut
I washed my face with potent soap in a rut
With a huff and a puff
My forehead finally crystal clear and clean again
Luckily without the use of acid rain
And nothing of it sticking to my brain
No amount of glue
Will keep the sticker on my face
Your plan went sadly askew
Or were you just in the wrong place
Memorize this lesson
Into your big fat head
Go find some cans for making the impression
And label some of them instead

“When in Paris, the good times cherish”
Gun Roswell
A Quick Trip to Paris
Down the Avenue des Champs Elysee
An all eyes can see buffet
Watching through the camera peep hole
For all the goodies and people
Which money can or cannot buy

“I love the Mediterranean for the fact that winter is over in a minute, and the almond blossom arrives in January” Jade Jagger
White
Whiter than white
The blanket so tight
Woven onto the ground
And into our minds
Yes it’s winter
Oh joy!?
(She says sarcastically
What she means really)
Quite the splinter
And a clever ploy!
First it was nice
Now it seems
You are staying
Just of spite

“Virvon, varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, valoisaks kevääks, lämpimäks suveks, pääsiäispyhäks ja juhannustuleks. Vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!”
Palm Sunday
Watch out
Little witches are about
When at your doorstep they enter
Make sure to bribe them like a big spender
For aches and pains and other ailments
Out the door with the witches went
If you try from the witches hide and ignore
Be prepared, for the rest of the year to be sore!

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx
Caturday Poem
When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat
The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat
After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual
This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail

Early Bird catches the Sunrise
An early bird’s price
Is a gorgeous sunrise
Climbing high up in the skies
Before your very eyes

“I’m surfing the giant life wave”
William Shatner
Happy 87th Birthday, William Shatner!
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!
