Sitting on a Bench on the Esplanade

Coloured Bench

I am more colourful than the others
I got painted before my brothers
I go the colour of bright orange
Beats being as bland as porridge
I am shiny and good as new
And seating at least two

Right Side 

This is the bench side
Where the seagulls reside
Close to the roadside
Where the buses collide
Oh, well,
I’ll just rest here for a while

Sitting on the left side
On this esplanade open wide
Where there is nowhere to hide
Why?
Well, this seat was dry 😉

A stormy day by the Pool

They said the sun would shine
The weather would be just fine
So I will sit here
In my poolside chair
Enjoy the day not so fair
No matter if I like it
It’s no use fighting it
This is my holiday
On a not so sunny day!

Stormy Weather over there…
But maybe not here?

There is some storm front on the horizon
With some bad weather arising
From a snapper’s point of view, quite mesmerizing
For the natives up there, possibly poison
But as they say, it’s quite typical for the season

Toupee blowing Weather

The wind factor so high
It would make Trump’s toupee fly
This is a time for one of Takei’s “Oh Mys”

The working day is done
I had lots and lots of fun
In my eyes I got sleeping sand
Time to travel to La-La land
Before the morning calls
I wish,
A good night to you all

Conqueror

Top of the world ma!
Or at least a street turtle
I go this far
So bring on the hurdles
I may be quite small
But I will conquer them all

Ready to be tested

On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

Space Oddity in Vienna

“This is ground control: Major Tom, please respond: over”

“This is Major Tom: over”

“Major Tom, we have located your space pod: over”

A moment of silence on the receiving end before response:
“Um… Where exactly did you find it: over”

“City of Vienna, Austria: over”

A muffled “oops” is heard from Major Tom’s end:
“O-K, ground control. Um, any chance you could give me a lift there?: over”

“Roger that M T! By the by, we do not seem to be able to track you on the device: over”

“Well, I am kind of in a situation here…” odd noises heard on the background, “What if I just send my coordinates and you can send vehicle, OK? : over”

In the ground control, quick typing can be heard and in the distance, a loud O.M.G.
“Ah, we got your location. Sending extraction right away: over”

“A big thanks, ground control! End transmission”

 

Back at the ground control, the two officers are staring at the screen where the location of Major Tom is blinking. The other officer turns to look at the other one:

“I can’t believe he actually ended up there…”
“Yeah, me neither”
The officers continue to stare at the blinking screen, both shaking their heads in disbelief…

And what was the location where Major Tom had ended up in?
Well…
