Breakfast

Setup fashionably ornamental
At a breakfast intercontinental
A healthy feast most elemental

Poetry, Humour

“Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real” Tupac Shakur

Aphorism of the Day

Always…
Dream big, dream all, dream rich
You can be the perfect bitch

Dream

Then…
I woke up, put the dog out to pee
And went out for some coffee

Cats, Dogs and Ladies (Caturday 2015-03-05)

Cats, dogs and ladies
All live under the same roof
A gentle mix of meows and woofs
Added with some ifs, buts and maybes

caturday-3    caturday-4

A playful sparring match
For the appetite to catch
Before dinner time calls
And they arrive on all fours

caturday-2

What we can all agree upon
Is a comfortable seat to cuddle on
All gathering into the same spot
All together tight as a knot

Dark clouds low in the sky
Painted with the greyest of die
It is calm in the storm’s eye

Birds into their nests quickly fly
Nothing moves, not even a butterfly
Before the rain pours down from the sky

Scenic view included
The brochure exuded
In an area quite secluded

Selection undisputed
Coordinates in computed
Soon, nothing but solitude

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view

Friday Coffee

Posted in Humour, Poetry, Photography and Coffee

coffee-1

Friday Coffee

One cup of coffee, black
Laced, with a little bit of cognac
Will cure the worst insomniac

Second cup of coffee, black
With a sugary doughnut stacked
Watch out for that heart attack!

The third cup of coffee, black
Now you are on the inside track
From this point on, there is no turning back

The fourth and more cup of coffee, all black
You watched the mirrors crack
As you passed them by with a high heels clack

A few more cups of coffee later, all black
Sitting in a comfy chair, laid back
Fast speed story telling, to your favourite quack
Happy Friday to One and All!

“Work, really? Again? Didn’t I just do that yesterday?

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-03-01

Work, what can I say? Can’t live with it, can’t live with it 😉

Getting into a right frame of mind at work, especially when the cups are overflowing every which way and the better part of the day spent either firefighting or tilting against windmills. The one thing you need to remember, well several things actually, but if you are working in a “desk job” as a payed employee, it’s just work and five o’clock will arrive at some point of the day!

Therefore, while getting into that good place in my mind before ending up in a straight jacket, I decided to look into the humorous side of the working life 😛 After all, if a laugh a day keeps the good doctor away, maybe a few more will save the rest of the week!
Here are a few gems I found in order of appearance:

“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours” Jerome K. Jerome

love-work

“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else” Barbara Ehrenreich

against-work

“When a man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose?” Don Marquis

Posted in Caturday; in honour of all cats everywhere

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

The Black Cat

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
