“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”

The Girl and The Cat

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat

No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat

No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set

If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

Winter, Winter

“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter” Billy Connolly

Winter, Winter

Oh winter, winter
You are such a splinter
In our collective derrières

Oh winter winter
I am using my printer
Producing images of summer

Oh winter winter
The whitish tinter
Gets old really fast

Oh winter winter
Do I really sound bitter
Just kidding, I’ll get by 😉

“I look spectacular!”

My Glasses

I can see through you
You seem to have a clear view
I would be lost and having strife
Or at least stumbling through life
Like a blind person needing a cane
Or an actor without the fame
Using my own vernacular
I shout out loud
My glasses oh so spectacular
Would even make Dame Edna proud

Throwback Thursday 2016-01-07

Each Thursday we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

Here are a few featured today for your enjoyment today:

Celebrating 12 Days of Shoes!

Shoes, shoes, shoes
I see lots of shoes
Shoes over here
And shoes over there

Oh take a look
At the pretty slingback
In the window there!

So many shoes
So little time!

It’s… Shoe Time!

“Behind every successful woman is a fabulous pair of shoes”

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-06

For today’s quote, I chose from a topic very near and dear to me. What is it?
Yes, you guessed it; Shoes! But seriously, this is one topic I do not take very lightly 😉

A woman can never have too many pairs of shoes!

The inspiration for this post actually came to me from the Albert and Victoria Museum exhibit of “12 Days of Shoes“, currently running in the museum. If you are in London,
you may want to check it out.

Meanwhile;

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy shoes, and that is kind of the same thing!”

Happy Shoe Days, All!

Good vs. Evil? (Mundane Monday)

Poetry and Photography
Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #40

“I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want” GG Allin

Good vs. Evil?

They say it is good for you
Healthy type of food
You must eat it
Possibly, even enjoy it
But who can really resist
The tempting siren song
Of the sugary spawn
Of a glazed donught
They said not to touch
But I really wanted it so much
Sneaking it out
In a hankerchief no less
I must confess
I ate the whole thing
With one big bite
Just out of spite
I really, really enjoyed it

Caturday, 2015-01-02, Part Two

The tourist of a foreign land
Came here to our strand
We let them snap some photos
And for them, strike a few poses
Scratching our backs
There is no lack
Of many a treats
Neatly we sit
Until all the pix
Are snapped
And the strangers all gone
Then we, just run along

Caturday, 2015-01-02, Part One

Cats of a foreign land
Sitting on a lava strand
Too hot to fish
Too hot for a stroll
Guess, the best bet is
To hang around the bowl
On this lazy sunny day
Nothing else to do but lay

The last day of the year! What better time for a walk down memory lane again and dig into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind since the beginning of time. Well at least from the beginning of this blog 😛

Here are a few of my favourites from this year:
