“I don’t generally like running.
I believe in training by rising gently up
and down from the bench”
Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

“Dogs are my favorite people” Richard Dean Anderson
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

“There’s no rule
that says you have to make records constantly,
like clockwork,
to continue being who you are”
Daron Malakian
Clockwork Apple
The Apple
If you’ve eaten a red apple
A hold of you it will grapple
There is no use to struggle
For the Evil Queen known to few
Has gotten, a tight hold on you

“Trust dies but mistrust blossoms” Sophocles
Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing

“There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere” Vivienne Westwood
London
London, in the image of panorama
Sensing, lots of drama
Live for today, for there is no mañana

“Travelers repose and dream among my leaves”
William Blake
London
On the busy streets of London
There is no time for boredom…

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right”
Oprah Winfrey
The Turn of the Year
Colourful burst of light
Against the darkness
Of the night
The clocks are churning
The new year is turning
Time for a new hope
And a new future

“Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won’t have to chase your dreams; they will come to you.”
Bread and Circuses aka Happy New Year!
Bread and Circuses
For any and all purposes
Lights and fireworks
Maybe with some quirks
No time to waste
It is time to celebrate
Let us all unite
Leave our differences, aside
The New Year
We hail
Following
A different trail
Past and present
Already spent
To the future
From now on
We all ascend

You know, from my point of view, I’m the luckiest cat on the planet” Hugh Hefner
Cat in the Mirror
The cat in the mirror
The sleek feline figure
Eyes blue as sapphire
Her spirit filled with fire
Herself does she admire
