Two Geese A-walking for Mundane Monday

“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar
Two Geese A-walking
On the second day of May
What comes my way
But, two geese a-walking…
Sitting on a seat, in Cyprus

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
Sitting on a seat, in Cyprus
A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

Cats ans Dogs
Cats and Dogs
Put them in a box
What secrets untold
Before you unfold
When the box is opened
Only keep hoping
There is no other agenda
Are they friends or enemies
Or just plain frenemies
That is the age old dilemma
Of Cats and Dogs
Fabulous Friday!

“After a really hectic week, I hate going out on a Friday evening, so I’ll always opt for a night at home” Donna Air
Fabulous Friday!
A new day
A new weekend
A new leaf
A new beginning
A blank page
I am, in center stage
On my way
My vision quite clear
People looking, in disbelief
As I am swinging
Down the street
Sounds of pops and crackles
Letting out a chuckle
Heading towards the harbour
The fireworks beginning
Feeling like I’m winning
Found the new location
Time for a celebration
For new sensations
Time for fun and play
To the rhythm starting to sway
Music and laughter
Not feeling the dafter
Only joy and being alive
Time for a high five
Let’s all have a ball
Life without Coffee? in TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
“There is no life before the first cup of coffee in the morning”
Life without Coffee?
It’s getting to be a borderline cliche
Like something so unnerving at play
But out of all the things to loose
If I really had to choose
What ever troubles life may bring
There is this only one thing
There is one thing I cannot do without
Uttered without hesitation or doubt
Not without my Coffee!
World Wide Wednesday in Lanzarote
Posted in World Wide Wednesday
“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin
Lanzarote
Into the harbour and down to the beach
Plenty of scenery if that’s what you seek
Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather
How could the holidays get any better?
A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail
A land filled with rocks and lava
Taking it easy with a cup of java
Especially since it’s as hot as a sauna
But still, this is almost complete nirvana

Pretty with Yellow for Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday
“Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do” Yogi Berra
Pretty with Yellow
Yellow!
Said the fellow
As he helloed
With a bellow
Of a voice
A little rejoice
In his voice
After all
He had broken protocol
And was finally
Smelling the flowers
Just a A Bench to Sit on
Posted in Seat Sunday
“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige
Just a Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
