Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)

As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise

In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

Quote 1

“My age is very inappropriate for my behaviour”

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen something we can all relate to: Growing older(?).
The quote is funny, because it is true 🙂

From one of the great actresses of all time; Bette Davis:

“Old age is ain’t no place for sissies”

FEATURED

Bonus quote of the week:

“The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young” Oscar Wilde

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal

But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme

Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!

(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’ ” Robin Williams

Yellow Little Things of Spring (Daily Photo) 

Something very weird:
Snow has but disappeared
Warm breeze passes in the air
Without warm clothing able to fare

What is this peculiar feeling
Do I need to fear?

But no problem!
It’s spring time, which is finally here!

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)

There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”
Albert Einstein

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

Ode to My Family (Repost for The Daily Post Future)

“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!
