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

There is always time for Coffee

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Gun Roswell

Happy International Coffee Day!

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

Caturday: Rulers of the World

Posted on September 26, 2015 by Gun Roswell

In honour of Caturday

“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat” Edgar Allan Poe

Caturday: Rulers of the World

They run your world
Despite whatever you heard
Twisting you around their tall tails
Urging you to run on nails
You will jump when they hail
“Yes Ma’am” you hear yourself say
When they approach you with a sway
And tell you it is time to play

Cats, are the rulers of the world
Sometimes you may hear yourself say “shit”
But you have to admit
You are loving every minute of it

Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place

Rantings Of A Third Kind

An homage to Poetry

“Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry” Muriel Rukeyser

Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place

I am a poet
But did not know it
Now I am writing
Lyrics without biting
The bullets
My mind to the fullest
Hammering the keyboard
Not a big chore
No, not anymore

Ever since I started
I cannot be parted
From the blank page
That clean slate
Words pouring
My heart roaring
I feel elevated
Totally animated
Full of excitement

I am completely and utterly
Lost in Poetry

A poem a day keeps the Shrink away!

Homage to Tony Denison, Happy Birthday!

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Gun Roswell

Homage to Tony Denison AKA Lt. Andy Flynn

“You wanna meet our newest contender for asshole of the year?” Lt. Andy Flynn

Homage to Tony Denison, Happy Birthday!

Smashing and dashing
Handsome and outstanding
Utterly fantastic
Sometimes sarcastic
But that is just fantastic
Good guy, bad guy
Always hitting the bulls eye
Whether in a suit and tie
Or just plain clothes
The attitude shows
Actor, humanitarian
Quite the veteran
Of stage, film and TV
And what we want to see

Now it is time
To end this rhyme
Do what I started
With wishes full hearted:
Many happy returns!

Blue Eyes is back

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Dame Angela Lansbury

“Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides” Angela Lansbury

Blue Eyes is back

She’s got grace and style
And to top it, a great smile
Oh those blue eyes
Could light up the skies
Her face most adorable
Her talent undeniable
Like the whirlwind
Still hard at working
A Queen without a crown
A Dame with a gown
She is the belle of the ball
So say we all
Now and for ever more

Murder She Wrote

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Gun Roswell

An homage to Jessica Fletcher

“Who Killed J.B. Fletcher?”

Murder She Wrote

The former school marm
With lots of charm
A writer of mystery
A worthy opponent of Christie
Is she just, having some fun
Or hitting a homerun
Being quite the detective
With a mind most selective
Solving crimes most foul
Not throwing in the towel
Until justice is served
To those whom deserved
Be that in the town in Main
Or on an excursion to Spain
She will always win
Before the episode comes to a fin

Homage to Nichelle Nichols

An homage to Nichelle Nichols, soon to be orbiting around Earth

“All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world” NICHELLE NICHOLS

Homage to Nichelle Nichols

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil 😉

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

Be careful out there
In the stratosphere!

“We are looking for the Nuclear Wessels in Alameda”
Actor, writer

Chekov on Star Trek
Who could forget
That boyish charm
And an accent of Russian
Done with such passion
Taking us by storm

Bester on Babylon 5
A character done with style
Telepath and an antagonist
Quite the opportunist
Stirring up the soup
Better watch out for a coup

Whether on film or stage
Even fan productions made
You always deliver
Like a true winner
Leaving us in awe
And wanting for more
