Mr Diesel’s Adventures for Caturday 

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”
—Roger Caras

Can’t be bothered

Can’t be bothered
Laying low, like an otter
Just had me some water
Because outside is much hotter
And I really don’t like
Harry Potter

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka in TBT

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“If you don’t like me, fine. It’s not my job to make you happy”

tea-vs-vodka

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka

You dont have to like me
Or be my friend
I am not looking for a life partner
Just someone to understand

If you expect to mend
And change my existence
I’d rather you just pretend
Then try to fix it

Somewhere
Someone
Is buying
What I am
Selling

I may not be
Your cup of tea
But surely some one
Prefers me
As their double vodka

Happy Birthday to Me!

“I am not getting older, just bolder and wiser, (I hope)” Gun Roswell

Happy Birthday to Me!

Can’t stand the flashes
Oh paparazzi be cursed
Because,
I am forced
To wear these dark glasses
Before,
My fifteen minutes of fame
Passes

Trying to act casual
Trying to act cool
After all,
There is nothing unusual
And nothing, like a fool
Than, in the middle of traffic
Stopping midway
For a quick snap it
After all
This is what all
Self conscious hip people
Do these days!
So snap, snap, snap away
A selfie in progress

Dreaming, in Black and White for Seat Sunday

Posted in Seat Sunday

“It’s a cute little studio apartment that has just what I need: a bed, a couch, a table, a chair, and a coffee-maker.” ― Shawn Lukas

Dreaming in Black and White 

In technicolour dreaming
You sometimes wake up screaming
Do not struggle or fight
Turn off all colours
And soon, the soothing
Of Black and White
Will dim down the lights

What?

What’s ya looking at?
Don’t ya believe I’m a cat?
Maybe I just ate a rat
And now, filled, laying flat

Sometimes, I wear a hat
To feel like an aristocrat
I only drink milk nonfat
In a tall glass, placed on a mat

Midsummer Finland Style

Posted in Celebration

Midsummer may not be a religious holiday, but it surely is revered in similar fashion!

” When in Helsinki, do as the Finns do” 

Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva

Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things

Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church

Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best

Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma

We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You in TBT

Posted in Throwback Thursday

“Life is not simple, and people can’t be boxed into being either heroes or villains” Jessica Hagedorn

Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You

I may no be the hero type
Or match your idea of a villain
You think I am a complete zero hype
Because I caused you a chilling
Just because in your grand plan
I did not win the grand slam
Stuff me in the smallest locker
It isn’t such a shocker

It’s not the obstacle, it’s a mild hindrance
I will seek and find the entrance

Just because

I can never be part of the conventional stock
Always and forever thinking outside the box
