The Born One
On this day,
A little deary was born
Coming out tooting a horn
The cat said “well, we’ll wait and see!”
The dog retorted “is that something for me?”
The two mommies are in love
There is nothing more precious below or above
Now both aunties too, are happy
As long as they don’t have to change the nappy
Live long and prosper little Hon’
We know you were the long awaited one

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
A boat filled with flowers
Was a little too crowded for the rowers
So instead, they rode a lawnmower
Before the grass grew any taller

Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.”

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row your boat
Round the moat
Let it gently float
But watch out
For the big goat!

Textures for Mundane Monday
Posted in Mundane Monday : Photography /Poetry /Humour
“I now find magic in the mundane.
I’m also more creative –
better able to look beyond the obvious and
come up with new story angles.”

Textures for Mundane Monday
Textures in white and grey
Made of stone, so not to fade
Others only a while stay
Before slowly melting away

Tracks left behind
Possibly, by the human kind
If the owner you try to find
Then be prepared for quite the ride!

“Oh Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.”

One Sunrise and Two Sunsets
Oh, what a pleasant surprise
When early in the morning
A reddish-blue sky
Pleasing the eyes
Promising a magnificent sunrise

“Oh Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.”
― Roman Payne
One Sunrise and Two Sunsets
When the working day ends
The setting sun in the far horizon
Is just the perfect reason
For a moment in the yard spend

“Oh Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.”

One Sunrise and Two Sunsets
When the evening wind blows
Reflected in the windows
A moment in the setting sun
Before the day is done
