“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”

The midday sun
High up in the blue sky
Enjoying the holiday fun
Watching the birds fly

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
Local architecture,
Filled with history
Just lay back
And soak in the stories
Of all the glories
From the past
Plastered to last
Oh, what a blast!

Happy Birthday to William Shatner

Happy Birthday to 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!

Could it be?

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind.
You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine”
Chuck Palahniuk
Could it be?
Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!
So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz
Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime
Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat
The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t

“A poem a day,
keeps the shrink at bay”

World Poetry Day
What would life be
Without a poet like me?
As you can plainly see
Even poetry
May be
As important for thee
As it is, for little ol’ me
Fill the world with poetry!

Atop of the World, Mom! (seven)

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Atop of the World, Mom!
Viewing,
The ancient ruins
From the top, of the mountain
The views,
Sometimes haunting
But never daunting

“Climbing to the top demands strength,
whether it is to the top of Mount Everest
or to the top of your career”
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Atop of the World, Mom!
On the top of the roof
Acting quite aloof
Searching for some proof
Of existence beyond the marble
As the people’s stare will never stop
At the tall white statues marvel
On the building, atop

Atop of the World, Mom!
Fully glass plated houses
All the way up to the very top
This is no place for louses
Nothing hidden, nothing secret
But soon enough, some regrets
As the gazes will never stop

Atop of the World, Mom!
Climb the steps
All the way to the top
They may take out your breath
But there is no feeling better
Than that of the atop

“Top of the world Ma!
Soon enough anyway!
At least, before I get to say
‘ha-ha’!”
As I shouted out loud, the lift started to sway
Hauling me and my derrière, high up on its way
