A homage to Cats now departed
A dip into the photo archives.
“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you” Michel de Montaigne
Happy Caturday 2015-10-03
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

SL WEEK 13: Four Wheel Drives
Four wheel drives
Of a different kind
Manual propulsion
With a little compulsion
Slowly getting nowhere
And then again, everywhere
Usage from ages zero
To the top one hundred
You can be a hero
Or a little weirdo
As long as you keep pedalling
The flow of adrenaline
Will keep you moving
Your condition improving
Hear the crowds cheering
As you are nearing
The finish line

“Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling” Claude Pepper
SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride it where I like
Sometimes, even a trike
With this simple vehicle
On a ride so magical
Ever so classical
In today’s world radical
And utterly likeable
Someone said impossible
Even behaviour maniacal
Never mind the icicles
And the cynicals
I just keep on riding on
My bicycle
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” L.M. Montgomery
Nightfall in Suburbia
The expectance of storm and rain
Transformed into a beautiful play
The sunset beyond the treeline
Never looked so fine
The colours painted in the sky
Catering both mind and eye
A perfect ending for the day
I wish I had more time to stay
Homage to Dame Julia “Julie” Elizabeth Andrews, DBE: Happy Birthday!
“Sometimes I’m so sweet even I can’t stand it.” Julie Andrews
Homage to Dame Julie Andrews, Happy 80th Birthday!
The hills are alive
With the sound of Julie
Moving along with a jive
An ageless beauty
Victor Victoria and The Sound of Music
With Mary Poppins adds to pure magic
Theatre, movies, musicals and records
Hitting the set of perfect chords
A truly multitalented performer
With a knack of being a transformer
Damehood received
Fans very pleased
Our Dame Julie
We love you truly
Another homage to Coffee, the finest organic suspension ever devised!
“Doctor, doctor! There is too much blood in my caffeine system!” Gun Roswell
There is always time for Coffee
Coffee, black!
That is a matter of fact
Enjoy it while hot
Right there on the spot
If you need cooling
With coffee there is no fooling
Try it as a frappé
Or even as a latte
Coffee never fails
Even when it ails

Today is time for a walk down memory lane again and dig into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind
Here are a few of them:
It’s About As Funny As A Root Canal
Let the Rantings continue!!!
“May the force be with you”
Ode to Darth Raydor
It is
A no-brainer
That
Sharon Raydor
Is
A crusader
A trader
A saviour
Even
An entertainer
In a
Major
Crime
No failures
Will she
Tolerate
Try not to
Frustrate
Or irritate
She won’t
Hesitate
To throw you
In the brig
If she won’t
Get her way
There will be
Hell to pay
Still sassy
Quite classy
Stiletto heels
To many
Appeals
Her motto
In legato
Always is
With a bliss

It’s About As Funny As A Root Canal
You know
That feeling
Lying
In the chair
Thinking
Life
Is not fair
Staring
At the ceiling
Anticipating
Sweat
Covering
Your skin
Waiting for
The drilling
To begin
The sound
Resonating
In your skull
Totally bound
With feelings
Of dull
Contemplating
An escape
Looking
At the window
Wishing
For a cape
Like a superhero
Flying away
No time
The Dentist
Hovering
Covering
Your eyes
With sunglasses
Working
In a quick pace
Before I
Can plot my
Break
My mind
Wandering to
Molasses?
Am I
Loosing it?
Completely
Sugar
Would be
The last thing
I needed
Mouth
Agape
Drooling
Like an ape
Fooling
Not a chance
In a deep
Trance
Or a drug endused
State
After all
Is done
Wishing
I had
A gun
Somehow
Cooling down
Getting up
Staggering
Reeling
A sick
Feeling
A glance

“The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.” Joe Girard
I am Out of Order for Today
Call it
A writer’s block
Or a total lock
My mind just
Put up the sign
“Empty room
For hire”
I will not pine
Somewhere
The fire
Can be found
Lifting me
Off the ground
To unblock
I will catch
The hook
To unlock
My writer’s mind
