The cat in the mirror
The sleek feline figure
Eyes blue as sapphire
Her spirit filled with fire
Herself does she admire
In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere

Cats, cats, cats
I see a lots of cats
Cats over there
And cats over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere
Oh, look at the pretty cat
In the window there
What window, where?
Over there, over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

You left our little place
Gone back to outer space
This is ground control:
We are sorry to see you go
He is the Starman
Flying high, high up
Into the open skies
Back into the stratosphere
Only to disappear
Leaving behind the music
For us to hear

You made us gag
You made us cry
You made us laugh
You made us smile
All the characters we loved
Even the villains unloved
Thanks for everything
You left behind
You were a true king
Of a different kind

A voice like thunder
Presence filled with wonder
From pre-med
On to the stage
Many a great characters
Taking us into adventures
But lucky were us nerds
When the voice of Darth Vader we heard
Other than that?
Well, of course, many happy returns!

Absolutely fabulous
Absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely hilarious
Absolutely flawless
Laughter is eternal
Completely universal
If I could not laugh
I would be terminal
Thanks for everything so far Ms. Betty
Throwing your way some confetti
What ever more you can deliver
I am totally ready!
Many happy returns!

Drumming a Beat
No need for a seat
Feeling the heat
As I am quite sweet
On dancing to the beat
Of a different drum

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx
Caturday, 2016-01-16
When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat
The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat
After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual
This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail
David Bowie: In Memoriam
“Don’t tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon”
Faded Footprints
Just a few faded footprints
Left behind on the ground
Think of them as blueprints
To vision and sound
Living in the presence
For time is of the essence
But follow them I must
Before they fade into dust
Photography and Poetry
“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”
Ode to My Family
Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead
I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked
So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!
