Homage
An homage to Home
“That’s my spot” Sheldon Cooper
My Spot
I love to travel
I like to work
I am a social kind of extrovert
Life will take me to many places
Different people different spaces
But in the end what matters the most
Is always returning to my favourite post
My Spot
Right, where I left it
An homage to the one and only Bicycle: Jopo
“Finnish made, Finnish played, Finnish trade”
Jopo bicycle, celebrating 50 years 11.09.2015
In nineteen sixty five
It was made to drive
Vintage like myself
From the top shelf
It may be simple
But a smile with a dimple
When riding this bike
Which everyone likes
“Paradise is a state of being, more than just the name of a suburb or a home” Raquel Cepeda
September Sunset in Suburbia
The sun is setting
Day fading into night
Time to count the blessings
Turn on the street lights
Sooner than later
Slumber will cater
Silence over suburbia
Will replace the hysteria
“I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust” Queen Elizabeth II
An homage to Queen Elizabeth II
Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers
You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts
Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics
Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:
Long Live the Queen!
An homage to Star Trek, the original series
“Live Long and Prosper”
Star Trek TOS, Happy Forty Nine Years!
Call it campy or even quirky
Call it the wagon train in space
All the familiar cardboard sets
And the best written scripts
Sci-fi, entertainment and humanity
All at their very best in the same place
This is the most a TV show gets
Don’t tell me, you are not gripped
Watching re-runs
With your best chums
What could be more fun
Maybe sitting out in the sun?
But, we are Trekkers
Nerds, geeks and well, trekkers
Looking up to the stars
Daring to go very far
Well, at least, in our imagination
During the syndication
With our favourite television show
To which much we owe
Live Long and Prosper Star Trek!
An homage to Felines everywhere
“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx
Caturday, Ode to Freakish Felines
Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles
“If you must have motivation, think of your paycheck on Friday” Noel Coward
Fabulous Friday
Forget the slaving
Time for some playing
And maybe even
A little misbehavin’
The weekend
Has just begun
Time to have some
Long awaited fun
The day of days
Has finally arrived
Get down and jive
For Fabulous Friday!
“I’ve always found that sci-fi fans are unbelievably generous” Amanda Tapping
Homage to Amanda Tapping, Happy 50th Birthday!
Blonde or brunette
Appearing on my TV set
Mainly the brainy one
But still, lots of fun
Stargate or Sanctuary
Quite the imaginary
Outwitted MacGyver
For that a high fiver
Actor, Director, Producer
You really are no looser
Activist and plain ol’ Mom
You still da bomb
Happy Fiftieth Birthday!
“This must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays.” –Douglas Adams
Throwback Thursday 2015-08-27
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:
Stalking is such a Strong Word. Let’s call it… Social Research!
A homage to bedpans everywhere!
“A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running” Groucho Marx
Ode to Bedpans
When you are
Down and out
Then just give
A small shout
Soon enough
Before things get tough
The nice nurses
Will come a running
In their purses
Carrying the plumbing
And without a doubt
Ease your pout
