“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you” Michel de Montaigne
For Caturday
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

“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July” Rick Bass
Happy 55th Birthday to My Better Half
Nineteen
Sixty-one
A year filled
With lots of fun
Brought
Forth
A July’s child
Quit the wild
Born with
The biggest smile
This July
All grown up
But at heart
Still
A young pup
Ready to fly
High as the sky
But never without
That wide smile

“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart
Happy Birthday Sir Patrick!
Totally charming
Maybe even utterly harming
When you make us laugh
And make us cry
With a voice like that
Sir Pat in a hat
Canny as a cat
Who could resist
Of being kissed
By a great fellow
You’re hell of’
An actor, a Captain and a King
And even able to sing
Wishing you a merry, happy and utterly great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may
Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!

An homage to the absolutely hilarious TV comedy; Absolutely Fabulous,
starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley
”Darling, if you want to talk bollocks and discover the meaning of life, you’re better off downing a bottle of whiskey. At least that way, you’re unconscious by the time you start to take yourself seriously.” Patsy
Absolutely Fabulous
Absolutely fabulous laughs
Absolutely fabulous cast
Absolutely fabulous show
I watched it several times or more
So, I really should know!
From a fan’s point of view
Of us, there are quite a few!
And we all are
Utterly sensational
Positively radiant
Happily glorious
And Abso-freaking-lutely
Fabulous too

“What is firmly rooted cannot be pulled out.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
The Tao of Chan
Whether a surfer dude
Or a cop on the street
He is never rude
Just moving with the beat
A joyride on the bike
An adventure or a hike
This is the game plan,
The Tao of Chan

“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Four Options Of Coffee
1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak
How to recognize bad coffee:
1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.
You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:
1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.
Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

Remembering the victims of Pulse, Orlando
“Peace and love among all those souls, who roam this planet, called Earth” Gun Roswell
For Pulse, Orlando
What a world we live in
When feeling comfortable in your own skin
Is frowned upon by others
Leaving your heart smothered
Love, peace and happiness
We all strive for nothing less
May that be a lesson for us all
Young, old and very small

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II
Live Long and Prosper 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,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 90th birthday!
