“A railroad station? That was sort of a primitive airport, only you didn’t have to take a cab 20 miles out of town to reach it.” Russell Baker

En route by Train 

Public transit, oh what joy!
But, before you shout ahoy
Read this story of ploy…

Read this story of ploy

Early morning in January
I was really in a hurry
The venue was set in the city
And feeling a little giddy
After all travelling by train
Was not something to do in vain
Especially in the middle of winter
With temperatures below zero
And myself certainly no sprinter
And even less of a hero

Reaching the train station
After half jogging the way
Then I heard the notification
The train had been delayed
No indication as to arrival time
But they told us, all was fine
Just a minor snafu
The train would be there in a few

A few minutes went by
On the platform standing by
Then after a while
Waiting for the train to arrive
I was wishing I had taken the car
I would have been so very far

Oh what fun and joy!
Toes, fingers and nose freezing
The snow storm’s intensity increasing
Now I know, this was a winter’s ploy!

“Those who’ll play with cats must expect to be scratched.”

Caturday: The Girl, Dog and Cat

“Ready for our close-up,
Miss DeSolingius”

The trio shouted
As, in front of the camera
They all strutted

Caturday: The Girl, Dog and Cat

The girl happily around struts
In her new rock’n’roll haircut

“What, what, what???”
The dog could not believe that stuff

The cat had her own opinion
“It’s obvious she was influenced by the minions”

The Girl and The Cat

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
Almost like aristocrats

“Mirror, mirror on the camera
The two of us are giving you glamoura’
Soon with us, all will enamoura’ “

The girl and the cat
Posing with a knack
Pretty pictures, are the result of that

“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”

The Girl and The Cat

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat

No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat

No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set

If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”
